Default LMR new drag radial car ever come around?

I was following the radial class at the lsx shootout and saw that they were battling getting there new car running right. I heard from someone they were gonna go racing with it the weekend after. Does anyone know if they ever got the new drag radial car to come around? Or have any better times then they had at the lsx shootout?

They did go to Bradenton, Fl. the weekend after memphis but from the times i saw posted on yellowbullet they are still fighting it. There seems to some issue with the intake and the air flow inside causing some cylinder dropping issues. Dont worry Josh will figure it out soon enough.

The LS guys just need to work on it. There isn't any reason why Fiscus, Kolivas or gutridge can run with the big blocks and the LS guys can't.

The way the track was acting that night a low 7 car like phils would have competed well with just consistent runs. Unless he ran into Hance or Vrettos in the early rounds.

We got some new **** that is going to blow everyones mind next year...We went 7.29 @ 194 on 7 CYLINDERS on a 4.82 1/8 mile, our last time out we easily went 4.700s with the same 60'(1.25) and the ONLY reason the 60' didn't pick up is the track was not quite there. We're working on our program and when next season starts, **** is going to be INSANE. A deep 4.60 or mid 4.50 on a tight track with our current setup is not out of the question.

deep 4.60 or mid 4.50 looks like a 6 second 1/4 to me. Hopefully this winter I can get a chassis to build a race car on and following homegrown racers like you is my inspiration to spend all my money on a car. LOL

6.89 on the radials is pretty insane, they were outrunning alot of the outlaw 10.5 cars that were only going into the high 6's and low 7's.

BTW hows your project coming, I might have something similar in the works myself.......

some of us "LS" guys can run with the BB...we are hoping to go 4.59 this weekend.

The LMR car had some issues and should be abck out this weekend. They are hoping to go really fast as well with a SB as well..
