Huge congrats to Steve "Killin Time" Jackson for setting a new 1/8th mile record in his 315 DR procharged mustang with a 4.609
. And also winning his class.
Also, congrats to Kalivas for the overall win...and Troy Pirez for winning the No Boost class with a 4.79!

Video of one hell of a run between Terry Elam and Steve Jackson. I have no idea how Steve kept the car off the wall at 160 mph and ended up stright again but he did. Terry caught fire at the end of the race as well:

I wanted to go bad. A couple of friends here in CA flew out to watch it, work tied me up and I missed it. I don't think to many folks here keep up with anything outside the LS world

I was supposed to go with Dave Bowman and Mike Bolla, they were there grand standing while I bitched out and didn't go...

Thanks. We ended up tearing up a bunch of stuff after wheel standing the first pass of the weekend friday. Fixed it friday night, went to rd2 Qual and it broke as soon as I released the transbrake (broke the output shaft out of the planetery set). We R&R the trans and Greg@FTI rebuilt it for us to make rd3 Qual, where the transbrake didnt work (Greg was the first one back to our pits to fix it, come to find out the shifter was out of adjustment after the R&R thrashing to get a qualifying pass in)...
Then in elims, we ran a new personal best, and still trying to figure out what happened that made the truck dart left and spin out, denting and scraping the right side all up of the brand new paintjob. Went 5.33@139 with a very soft 60' to keep it from wheelstanding before the wreck.
Its stood up 2x's now once in my avatar and once Friday morning down there. We've put a bunch of weight on the front and limited all the travel out of it, then took some power out of the hit too.

Sorry to hear the trans problems and the new body work. That truck hauls the mail though. Power limiting must be tricky when you got a track that bites you want to put the coal to it but then you have the wheels up problem or tire spin. What power adder you running?

Its a PT106... Probably an overkill for the HP we are running but wanted to be able to grow into it.

Sorry, looked at so many cars and didn't catch that ...PT106 is a bad mother and would really lay down the number in the 1/4. Fun trying to tune those dots on the 7531 to get down the track though huh? I'm learning all I can for when I finish my 275 DR car myself and lucky enough to be around some smart people..

Ooops, thought everyone was running those . Thats cool, you guys doing a good job tuning then considering you don't have the 7531. The 7531 gives you control over spark, basically cutting the spark where ever you put the dots in the rpm band, some people call it traction control but I consider traction contol something the computer does for you real time.

Yeah I know what the 7531 does. We are still running a stock ECU so I dont even have anything like that in a BS3 (which it can do a little of as well). Heck theres still alot of stock GM parts on this motor, valves, rockers, Caddy lifters, etc.

We were initially building it so we could run in a class that required a stock PCM, but after we were well into the build they decided we weren't in the "spirit" of the class. So we're running it for now, will swap to a BS3 eventually probably.
