Congratulations on that milestone, Pat!
Looks like Muncie. Were you there Saturday? I don't remember seeing the car.

No, this was Wednesday. I wish it wasn't so windy that day. Could have been 9.8x I should be making it up there on Saturdays next year.

Yep, I just realized that by watching your video. Different announcer.
I love it: "ooh he's runnin' a Mustang too...... idn't that a Mustang over thar?" ......LOL!
I was there two Saturdays ago and we had a 20 mph headwind. But this past Sat it was a 15 mph tailwind .....helped me to a new best also - see other thread.

Yes, post that timeslip!
For those of you not local, Muncie has one of the best starting lines you will ever find. My 3800 lb pig 60's 1.43-1.44 on motor there.

My fastest 60' was 1.37 and I was a little slow off the line on this run R/T is usually 0.0xx

Fastest 1/4 Wednesday

Already impressive on its own, but at that weight with a 10-bolt it is shocking.

Grats!

I just noticed the 4L80E. That 2.48 low may be helping out the little 10 bolt.
Excellent trans for a boosted setup!

I'd have thought there would be more posts about 10 bolts breaking around here. But it's really been far & between. Maybe because most of the guys putting down that kind of power have already replaced them, I don't know. But as an observation, on the interweb, you hear more about how they're weak than you do of them actually breaking.
