Default New best at the Shootout.. Almost single digits!

Alright guys, I know that this year's LSX shootout has been over for a while now, but I'm just now getting time to post this up.

Saturday morning MM and I drove to the track and pulled straight into the staging lanes to get a test hit before the True Street meeting. The car went 10.08 @ 134.11 with a 1.48 60' time. For those of you who didn't read my last post in this section, this was on a STOCK 10-bolt, torque arm, and sway bar.

Since the Memphis race, I've ordered a new T/A and a drag bar from BMR, and feel pretty confident I can get this thing into the 9's as long as the 10-bolt stays together. A 9 inch will be installed over the winter so we can get this thing to leave off the brake!!!!

PICS:








(Damn that running light and the dumbass stickers we had to put on our fenders....)

It's a 73 pill in the plate... Somewhere around 175. The car weighs 3550ish without me in it. Raceweight about 3750.

That's the plan if the new BMR stuff I just got in the mail doesn't put it into the 9's during Import v. Domestic
