Last pass ever on my 436... I managed to nurse my motor for two more passes. This is the first one. You can see the car get a little loose out of the hole. Traction was a problem and I needed to get out and back in it. Second pass, I took the wheelie bars off since I figured I wouldn't need them. Big mistake. Stood the car straight up and had to short shift to bring it down. Went a 9.77 on that pass. Decided to hang it up after that because of low oil pressure. This motor has done me well for 3 years and now its time to retire her and move on to a new bullet.

Sue doesn't work for me anymore. She moved on to a boss she could tolerate...haha. Not Phoenix though.
My 436CI will be for sale as is or re-built. I haven't decided what the price will be yet.
Merry Christmas to you guys too....

Let me say it was one hell of a wheelstand on that second pass, he was up there so high you could see the mufflers. Then it came down nice and easy. The guy in the mustang next to him came over later on and said he scared the living sh*t out of him.
