Default **Big Mike & Cartek, can you say 9's** w/video

Yesterday at Atco got I my 1999 Camaro SS into the 9's. First nitrous pass of the day:

Dial...
R/T... .298
60'... 1.408
330... 4.096
1/8... 6.348
MPH... 108.55
990... 8.258
1/4... 9.982
MPH... 135.28

Man, you cannot understand how freaking happy I am! Nothing was changed on the car since I ran it last when I went 10.159 at Atco back on May 3. Everything is the same:

Cartek built shortblock
stock 346. displacement
forged rods, forged 12.5:1 pistons
stock crank
Comp Cam
Cartek Stage II "X" Heads
TNT wet kit (200 shot)
Fuel system (don't know much about it but it's pretty involved)
Rossler TH350 w/ trans brake
TCS converter
3.73 gears

Raceweight is a confirmed 3660. Not the lightest car around. We are gonna lighten it up a bit before Bowling Green.

According to the LS1Tech fastest list, my car is the fastest 346 power adder on the board. That makes me smile! **Edit, Jay Johnson just posted up after me, he is in the #1 spot.**5/22/03 - But not for long!

Once again, an enormous thanks to Cartek: Julio, Dave, Rich and Roy! Sorry you couldn't be there Roy, we'll just have to go even faster next time you're there!!!!!

Julio will be posting the video and timeslip for all to see. Thanks Brent for awesome video footage!

From where I was standing that pass wasn't even that clean, spinning and kicking sideways a bit, there are 9.8s/9.7s maybe in it as it sits I bet.

Congrats again to Mike and Cartek Racing on getting 9s with a 346.
