Default New Best Today - 9.97

Still at 3340 lbs. Only change since my 10.14 run was a re-stall on the converter and weather. Damn thing pulled the wheels up again but no damage.

Maple Grove Raceway
DA: +240
60': 1.335
1/8: 6.341
MPH: 108.31
1/4: 9.972
MPH: 135.24

I'll be at Cecil next weekend looking for 9.8's.

Mikey

Congrats to you Dave (SLED28). You guys built one hell of an engine.

I have beat the crap out of this motor every weekend since June and it has never skipped a beat. I set the valves once but it still has the same TR6's that we put in. No dropped sleaves, no coolant leaks, no blown head gaskets, just power power power.

I backed up this pass with a 9.975 @ 135.29.

See you guys around the holidays.

Mikey

Sweet Mikey <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Does that thing still have the fogger on it? Good luck next week!

Many congrats dude!

Are you going to the SSOTN deal at Cecil next Saturday? I know there are one or two F-body's that normally show. I plan to go. Long range forecast doesn't show real good air, but hey, forecasts change from day to day, so we'll see. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Congrats Mikey,

Great to see you cracked the nines <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , I knew that a converter adjustment would be the answer. Just wondering if you got a video of your run, so that we can post it on our website? Maybe next season we'll get to run some 9.50's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'll be at Cecil also on 11/16 then calling it quits for the season.

Todd: It never had a fogger. Last year I ran a TNT ring with a 150 pill.

These times are all motor. I don't spray it any more.

I concentrated this year on weight and suspension. Looking at the 1.33 60', I would say my suspension is kickin'

Great times Mikey! Just goes to show you that you can run just as good with less power, as long as you have the suspension setup correctly. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
