Good post Big Mike.

Congrats to Duke and to the rest of Hardcore. Whether the record falls anytime soon, who cares. These guys busted their *** and got their first. Keep up the great work guys

This topic is currently being hotly debated on two other, very long and humerous threads. We probably do not need a third.

Mike you're absolutely right.I just got caught up in the moment,and my competitive nature and enthusiasim took over.I will not mention what my car "should" run until my 9.12 car gets down the track again.

For the record..............still no video or correctly dated time slip. The call my buddy at the track just doesn't cut it for me. In fact I am pretty sure we ran in the 7's first.............here, call my buddy Tom. He'll back it up, he was at the track when we did it!! Sound good???


Wait, it was in a magazine....................it must be true.

Ya, we went 7's at Milan this afternoon. Track conditions were a little bit slippery but we were able to keep it together for a solid 7.86!

Watch for the latest article comming out in Popular Hot Rodding for the proof! It say's best ET 7.86 right over the line that say's 1500 rwhp.

Congrats Chris!

Tom

Hey, APE guys, I speak for myself and a number of other site users when I say, enough is enough, you've made your point regarding Hardcore's inability or refusal to properly substantiate their two reported 7-second runs. I'm pretty sure all 33,000 site users are now aware of, and some may even share, your skepticism or frustration on this topic.

You are right, I will leave them alone and let what is standing stand. I guess I am just a little to "HARDCORE" when it comes to beating a dead horse!!

On the one hand, I have no reason to believe they did NOT run those times. On the other hand, all doubts would be put to bed if they would just produce the standard proof. Maybe they will run 7s in Atlanta and the issue will be mute.

The quickest time as of this article is 7.94 seconds at 176.53 mph. On another pass Jason McNeil ran a 7.96 at 175 mph.

Congrats to Ronnie Duke and team of Hardcore Motorsports for kicking *** with a F-Body and a LS1.

Rock on!

HEY!! I wrote the story!!
