The LS Drag Radial Record Reset 7.11 Well this was my final outing with my LS setup it is time to step it up so we can hang with the Big Boys.
We started out with some rain, delaying our efforts. We came out looking to test converters on friday, and get the best combo in for saturday. We tested 3 converters and ended up running my original Neal Chance unit, but we did gain some good info.
Saturday came and we were itching to lay down a number but wanted to secure a spot in the ladder before we pushed the envelope first hit 7.39, Q2 7.21 matching my old record, Q3 we got out of the groove and shook the tires. E1 7.18 @ 202.67 4.76@161.23 1/8 new record, E2 This was ugly I screwed up and stagged deep. Worried about red lighting I sat there like a duck. **** light cost me the round my 7.23 to the winning 7.26. That sucked but I wasn't done, Jason at MIR was just awesome he let me run after the elimation rounds. So T1 7.11 @ 204.08 with a 4.71@162.63 1/8 and a awesome 1.229 60ft we were pumped.T3 was our last shot we were going for it, car left like an animal 1.22 again 4.70 flat to the 1/8 lit the board up with a 7.12 we were done. It was a great time. That track was one of the best I have ever seen. BTW this was all done at a race wieght of over 3400 lbs.
Special thanks to my crew Rob and Todd. Dennis from DMC this car never went so straight and hooked so hard. Job Spetter Jr you are magical, couldn't do it with out you. Rich from PCHS Racing Engines you have proven to be one of the best engine builders out there. Joe from LI custom thanks for all the last minute help.
Now it time to start a new era with our new 615 BBC. We will be putting the LS engine on the side to allow everyone else time to catch up. I haven't given up on the 6 sec quest just ran out of time. We need to get ready to rumble with the big dogs this October and for that we will be loaded for bear.

I'm almost sad to see you go BBC. I watched your car run this weekend. That thing is bad...and it says a lot for the ls motors. Good luck with your new quest.

I think guys running under a certain ci should get a bigger weight break. It sucks to see everyone going to pretty much the same setup because they have to if they want to compete.
I wish someone would start a all efi race similar to the LSx shootout but invite everyone running engines styles originally equipped with efi. Like LS engines, mod motors, new hemis, and even imports if they think they could hang.
