Thumbs up Hardcore Racing goes mid-8s on Radials!

We have a new Gen III record, Hardcore Racing went 7s on slicks last week, and this week went mid 8s on a radial tire.

Yeah, I saw that, very cool. I'm glad Ronnie jumped in the car for the drag radial passes, it seemed to shut up some of the naysayers. The car sounds like it was a handful on drag radials. Can't wait to see when everybody gets up and running to go after the record.

Very awesome.

Dennis Lugo went an 8.15 @ 170 MPH with the chute out at the 1000' mark this last week in NMRA trim. (That's a Mustang for those not familiar)

These LS1 cars are coming along pretty quickly. Congrats to Hardcore.

I was glad to see them run the 7 sec pass, that was cool, but as for mid 8s on radials, I can't get excited about that. I'm not trying to be rude, but thats average these days and you guys know it. My good friend has a 331ci 84 Mustang that runs mid 8s on radials, built by us in his shop, nothing special at all. Definitely not the MEGA high dollar program like Hardcore.
