Default Went to TMP tonight.....

So I was at TMP tonight, my buddy towed me down with his Dodge Dully and enclosed trailer which was awesome. Pulled the car out of the trailer and went for a pass after tech, 11.9@121mph, a few passes later 11.797@123.6... needless to say I was more then happy running the car on 18in street tires that are about 5 years old. I ran a C5 for my last pass of the night, I did 11.809@123.84... he was no where to be seen. I will post some pics on monday.

Solid!!!

I toasted my Torsen last time down searching for that 11 that I know she has in her. I'm back to a Trac Loc now and should be heading down in the next few weeks so I hope to hit it then. My MPH is very close to yours so I have the power just haven't put it all together quite right yet.

Sweet #s on street tires, Paul. Let me know if you're heading out again before the end of the season and I'll meet you there. Once I get the new engine broken in, I'll have to get out there to see what this ugly ***** will do.

Alright Paul i have to hand it to you... That is now the coolest hybrid head scratcher ever. Surpasses my buddies Volvo v8 swap although... His was probably a better sleeper but not the power levels of yours so you get the crown. I'm heading down to the track again probably either Oct 20 or 21 if your up for it?

11.x or bust... literally

Thats a nice car, I like how it sounds. You don't expect it from its appearance. Nice times too for the power, say what does it weigh?
