This picture shows smoke coming off the slicks, so I would guess it was not a good pass, no rev limiters back then (just your right foot). Looks like a 10.90 on the windshield which was probably the NHRA record, which would have been the dial-in back then. The big 23 on the side glass was probably when I came through the gate.
