World Street Race Congrats to Brady and Team ***** Racing for being chosen to run in the World Street Race this weekend. A special thanks to MADMAN RACING / JBZ Race Cars for coming through for us and helping get the car ready in time. Picking up a motor in Houston and driving to Alabama to install it at midnight for a race the next day, is definitely taking care of your customers.... A++++
We were delt a tough hit first rattle out the box, when they had us change the 315/60 BFG's to a brand new set of 295's. The new tires seemed a little slippery and the 60 fts showed it. The car is still skating a little on the big end, but MADMAN has built a wing for the car (that looks bad ***) should help keep some down force on the rear. We were put out in the second round. In Qualifying, Brady was able to pedal the car down the track to a personal best of 8.77 @ 162 mph, which is not a slouchy time shaking it down.

thanks, and don't forget it was on pump gas with 11 degrees of timing...
1st round we spun to a 9.10 @ 165
2nd round I added 4 degrees of timing because we had to run the #1 qualifier and he'd been running consitant bottom 8.30's.. Either the brake didn't hold or my thumb flickered the trans brake, but I rolled through before the tree was activated.. staging these turbo cars takes some practice... But I ran it out the backdoor anyway and it was really strolling, the shiftlight was on for about the last 300 ft.. had to be a 170+ blast..
We'll get em next time.
oh yeah, 3580# raceweight

Congrats! 8 seconds on pump gas is AMAZING.
You guys going to see what it has on pump gas still or just screw it and throw the good gas in and let her rip?
