Dance if you run 6.95 or better in the 1/8th.

Now now paul..you know that you would also have to add a parachute...adding drag and weight to your setup..therfore bringing you below the 8.98 that you would run. Oh wait...since you have a hidden 50 shot on top of that you should be fine.

My car is really clean looking actually. I might do the !interior and !catback mods soon to try and chase down Pepper's record. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I will vouch for you that that had to scrub off at least .08. Therefor with your time being in 6.9x range..take off the .8 to avoid the turtle on the suicide mission(turtle bomber...terry...you know anything about this turtle????) we can safely say that your below the 6.95 required to do the fluffy dance.

lol you guys are painfully stupid. I can feel myself losing IQ points just reading these posts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> All I said was my car ran 6.95 in the 1/8th and I'm an unofficial 10 second member.

Congrats Paul!!! Thunder Racing is awesome <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

8s! Thats amazing!!

FYI, I'm in the 8s too, because I saw a car run an 8-second pass before and he had a 1.50 60' time. Well, with my lower 1.49 60' time I figure we should run about the same.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm Terryble at math.

Thats okay Tim, the old MTI 10.4 car would have never run that pass if it were not for you lining up against Jayson that night. The added air pressure coming off the front of your car from behind helped get at least another tenth out of that car. Them Phisics is be fisiks!

I'm sure you have seen video of some fast cars. that is good enough for this bench racing session. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Oh yeah, does anyone happen to have some 26 meter ETs for an 8-second car? I'm trying to figure out what I'd run in the 2/3 mile.
