Default HVYSS running 9's last night.....

.......at Mountain Park Dragway, KY.


Frank and Geramie are now running pretty consistent 9's with that car with a few bugs still to sort out. And a fairly mild and typical LT1 setup to boot: just a 200 shot fogger on top of a solid built bottom end and a NA-oriented H/C package.
I think it's friggin awesome! One of only two B-bodies I can think of in the Midwest that are running NINES without driving over to the East Coast to run in negative DA and downhill tracks!
They backed it up with a 9.95 @ 135, but still having issues and called it a night.

KY Horsepower is having their fall shootout Sunday the 18th. It's been cancelled twice. So we are going to stay and go to that. You should come home for the weekend and go with us.

I would love too but Cathys parents are coming down for T-giving. I'll be home Christmas time, I'll give you guys a shout. Congrats on a solid 9, what was the DA 2500+ lol. Bet she has a 9.7 139 in her at sea level. You, Denz and your crew should trailer her down and make a few runs at San Antonio and hang in South Padre for spring break in March. Plenty o room at me Casa. Brian

I hate to say it but no. They have cancelled this local shootout twice so We are going to stay here and run that. Gonna miss all the fun I know. And thanks for all the props guys. If we weren't having nitrous issues I believe she would have gone low 9.8's. Our 60 fts were almost a tenth off due to the kit not coming on properly. Hopefully we will get it resolved this week and will get a 9.8 out of it next weekend.

Man, that thing rode out straight as a string. Does it feel that smooth when you're driving it?

The DA was +569' on that pass, it was good for a 9.7x at sea level i believe. It had 9.80's in it that night but electrical gremlins where giving us fits all night long.

That starter wire was a pita last sept. How long have you been running those solenoids on the progressive?
