Default Ran new best at YellowBullet with 1.12 60ft

Well we went to yellow bullet and ran x275 a new best 1.12 60ft 4.74 at 149.41mph . Qualified 17 of 36. Car is still a pig at 3320 lbs. .... Big thanks to my engine builder Bobby at RPE, Anthony at Accurate Trans, Jose at Forced Induction, Midwest Chassis, Anthony Manna, Fragola Performance products, PTC, Outlaw Racecraft, Moroso, my crew and driver. Car was not really picking up after the gear change so we are changing the gearing around, upping the compression, GRP Aluminum Rods and I will be working with John Bewley on a new camshaft... The car def has mid 60s in it as it sits but we need to run low 4.50s in x275 trim in order to compete down south.... Here is the slip and video... Thank You in advance.

That 60' is crazy.

I've pondered a few times about building a x275 C5 vette. A purpose built car this time.
