Re: Vince M is back?? 9.08@ 159!! The turbo project is getting pieced together but it won't be put into the car till the fall. I'm sticking with the current nitrous motor just to have some fun. I've decided for a Little M 18 Degree headed monster turbo motor.

Re: Vince M is back?? 9.08@ 159!! Brian no doubt on the 38 mph,very hard to believe..
Rick I wouldnt get to ancy This is the same guy that "claimed" to be the first n/a lt1 in the 9's also with a 9.97, that I found out recently may not have been n/a at all... maybe hes moved on now to trying to be the first in the 8's to...no matter if you see he post something like that next few weeks I would ask for some type of verification on it ..I yet seen proof of the 9.97 or was it 9.93
who knows it changed overnight somehow right after I ran a 9.94 back in march and per a reliable source the gas was plumbed in the day he claims he broke in the 9's n/a...I already chased a seemingly bogus record hate to see someone else do the same thing, not a big deal to me. Cause what he thought n/a prolly was unbeatable, even if assisted got owned and will be put further down the pike maybe as soon as this weekend 
I could be playin right along side you guys in the chase for 8's if I wanted, but I'm satisfied knowing the car will do it,even if I dont have a timeslip to show for it..This N/a thing is kinda fun for now.... It is fun watchin the battle though 
whats that I read on cz28... 36 squared!!!!...whats that a 350 shot?????
hell, I only ran a 6.23 1/8

Re: Vince M is back?? 9.08@ 159!! I was there the day he crashed the car....BUT I left literally about 15 minutes before that pass "happened"
If I remember correctly I did see a nitrous kit on the car but I dont know if it was used or not. "Apparently" he went through the traps backwards at 9.97 @ 13Xmph and over the wall.
I dont know the complete story though. I remember that period of time well cause I saw another car wreck at over 140mph around the same timeframe. I thought there was something going on with the track. A bunch of cars got loose on the big end. The car I saw wreck was a mustang on spray that got the throttle stuck!! OUCH!
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Vince M is back?? 9.08@ 159!! yeah the conflicting stories really gets tough to decipher here in the internet world...nothin keeps people from posting what they want ,what mods they do or dont have...In a perfect world one would want to believe everything they see or hear on here or any other forum ,, many f-body owners who frequent the same tracks events as alot of others etc. so most the time people take it for gospel and if a video or even eyewitnesses that can concur makes things seem for what they really are ....but at the same time everyone knows not everyone is completely honest and some seek glory in a cyber world rather than a real one..
Rick I'll be lookin for the PM....

Re: Vince M is back?? 9.08@ 159!! A friend of mine is pretty good friends with Vince and said that the car IS an FJ smith chassis car. I dont know if its backhalfed or stock suspended but the IMPRESSION i get is that its a stock suspension ride.
As with anything, take it with a grain of salt since its second hand information to me.

Re: Vince M is back?? 9.08@ 159!! The internet is tough with "hearsay" stuff....we all know how that goes.
First off, Vince is a friend of mine. Its not to hard to believe that his car is a 9sec NA car....the motor was built by Fast Times, dynoed 707hp on the engine dyno, and the car has an insane chassis (FJ Smith). its a gutted race car. I havent seen any times with my own eyes, but knowing how much time, money, and GOOD chassis/motor he has in that car, its nowhere's near a far-fetched number.
The car is not tubbed....I dont know if he has the stock style rear or if its a 4 link. I think it is a 4 link tho.
The yellow vette is not his...that was one of the Billy Futrouis cars from Speedway. Everyone called it "king vette". I think it went something like 168mph in the 1/4, not sure on that tho. Last I heard, it was sold to a dude in NJ.
