Default Fireball's first shot today 7.99(VA Speed 360 turbo motor)
1st shot out went a 7.99 to the 1/4 mile. Car seems to like the changes made this time around, went a 5.2 to the 1/8 mile fastest he has ever been, A/F needs a TON of help, Brian said the A/F was 9.2 all the way down track.

1.36
5.24 @ 142
7.99 @ 177

Should run a 7.7x next hit out

Wow. Congrats to Fireball.

I remember meeting him at MIR in 2000 and the pewter poncho was just heads/cam and running in the mid 12's IIRC.

I wish I would have taken my camera. Congrats to him!

Why did they back him out the last one?

2nd shot actually...

1st hit...spun 40' out.
2nd hit...lowered tire pressure 1/2 psi
60ft-1.363
330ft-3.509
1/8-5.244
mph-142.52
1000ft-6.733
1/4-7.997
mph-177.88

Third hit...added more boost at launch...car drove to the right at launch and got out the groove and spun ~50ft out...but I pedaled it and legged it thru the 1/4 for fueling data:
even spinning about 1.1 seconds into the run it went a 1.33 60ft ...biggest surprise is that it picked up 48 freaking mph out the back door (123.26 to 171.14 mph )

BUT

probably wasn't the wisest thing to do...hit some other parts of the map due to the spinning and it hurt a head gasket...didn't push water but oil got milky
