Default Brian(Fireball) shaking down his new VA Speed turbo motor

1st hit, spun hard 10 feet out and had to get out of it, rolled back in and ran it out the back door. With A/R hovering around 10:1 went 6.2 @ 126mph(1/8 mile). Looks pretty promising after the first hit.

Most people would enjoy that kind of mph in the 1/4. That new motor is going to be killer!

I think Brian went quicker on a test hit after the race,but i havent got confirmation on this yet.Nice passes for the new engine setup-especially considering it didnt fire up for the first time until late friday night

here are a couple action shot from saturday

he is still running the fi98x turbo,car went 5.50 @ 136 on the last test hit,
it will run 5.0's at 145 when he gets all the bugs worked out.
