Hah, an 8:72! Talk about smokin' the judges!
I rarely have seen this show but when he said a B-series Ford cam + nitrous I was suspicious. The burnout told me hold on!
Is the object here to lie and fool the judges?
Btw, no way that alleged 100,000 mile + engine doesn't have a LOT more work done that the driver admitted to.

The object is for the contestants to guess the ET of the car. They each get one question and the driver has no obligation to offer any info other than the question asked. So yeah, the engine wasn't exactly stock, with a "big cam".
The first time I watched a 10.5 tire 'street' class, I was blown away with what those guys did on small tires and a street legal car. And that was back when aftermarket blocks weren't that common for the SBF. It also became quickly apparent that 500 hp was the point where stock blocks had a limited lifespan. That guy obviously had a well worked out combo. Cool heads up launch and a helluva run!

I actually saw that, as my wife was giving me the " I can't believe your watching this" look. The wheelie got her attention.

I used to watch Pass Time every now and then back when it was on the Speed Channel on a regular schedule.
I just happened to be watching when Robert Pond was on with his white Fairlane.
Needless to say, none of the contestants were close on their estimates.
I forget now what it was, but the house 'pro' had some comment about Mr Pond's description of the car.

I'm gonna say Mr. Jarvis was taking quick nitrous snorts before the intro there.

If you ever get to meet Jarvis you will realize that he was very calm and on best sedated behavior during that interview. He is normally much more animated and intense. Consider the mindset necessary to street drive a 9 second wheelstanding vehicle where you sit forward of the front tires...

Well, my Econoline wasn't a wheelstander, but it did have naked chicks in the back during beach runs in the 80's. I was still calm and stoic. OK that's a lie. I was utterly bonerfied.
Anyway, Jarvis' van is entertaining. I don't recall any real trick Phord vans being mentioned anywhere.
