I will post some Video as soon as Paul Z gets it out there


The best race of the season for me

The slip
R/T---- .158 ---- .171
60' ---- 1.427 --- 1.424
330 --- 3.867 --- 3.870
1/8 -- 5.879 --- 5.910
MPH -- 122.22 -- 120.89
1000 -- 7.614 --- 7.675
1/4 -- 9.081 --- 9.169
MPH -- 153.28 -- 149.90

MOV .1014

This was a great taste of victory taking out Paul Z's twin turbo solid axle C5 with my stock IRS nitrous car. I am looking forward to our next event on 10/1 in Ohio sould be a blast!!!
