Exclamation LMR Twin Turbo Corvette runs 8.64 @145mph FIRST PASS!
Finally got a chance to take out the twin turbo corvette. First pass ever on the car clicked it 7.3 seconds into the run and coasted to a 8.63 @145mph. This was leaving at 3500 rpms on 5lbs of boost and made 18lbs down track. We only got this one pass due to lack of certification on the chassis for this ET. This car will definately set the IRS corvette record next time we take it to the track.

You guys are messing with Earth's rotation with those kinds of runs.

Congrats! Moving out for sure.

What's up with the Top fuel burn out? No line lock? Hire a new camera man.

That cracked me up. It looks like the camera man was checking the hood/fender gap as the car went buy.

Nice run.

Looks like a pretty smooth, easy run. Tight work. Would like to see some engine bay pics if theres any out there. Running a stock style diff? or a ZR1/Z06 custom setup?

Nice pass, but I think Keith Berry will be running as quick if not quicker for the IRS record as well in his BMF Corvette. Time will tell.
