Default 7.22 @ 200 mph ,, Season's over, time for a new combo

Well the time has come to move on from the 76's . I think have found the limit of our combo. We are capped at 200 mph and now have a mid 7.2 second bracket car. We ran every pass except one in the 7.2's. Today at Midwest Chassi's track rental went 7.24 off the trailer. I know for sure the car will run a teen as is but didn't make it happen.

Today we did go our best 60' 1.183 ,,,, 3.15 to the 330' letting off. We were on 2 wheels most of the way. Drove up too high and had to let off . Went 5.01 @ 119 to the 1/8th. LOL!!! We were on a killer pass!!!!!! I got a little too greedy.

It looks like we are going to switch to 88's at this point.

People I HAVE to thank!!!

Speed Inc Tom, Dan and Jim
Midwest Chassis
LME
Brain at Racewire

Also PSJ for all the help at the track this year.

We are going to do some added cage work and some weight reduction.
My buddy Jeff is going to paint the chassis that never got painted from our crash last year.

Sending the motor to LME to get ready for ANOTHER year of abuse. I think this is my thrid year in a row that the motor hasn't come out or even a head off ALL YEAR!!!! I made more passes this year than any before.

Congrats Andy, can't wait to see how the car does with the 88s... Are you sticking with precision or trying a different brand?

FINALLY stepping up the turbos! Not that the car wasn't fast as ****, but I want to see what it does with some 88's Go with the Garret GTX55-18's, you will be glad you did.

We've got a few tricks up the sleeve that haven't been exposed, but I think the time has come. There's a few tenths in all the MWC team cars and if all goes as planned then 2014 will be a dogfight.

The off season is busy already with updates and complete new builds so the new season will be here before we know it!
