Default New Best 9.45 @ 146, 6 speed street clutch and drove home - Video inside

Ventured out to Cecil county Maryland for last shot at greatness.. Just replaced 13 year old Nitrous solenoid that I suspected had been restricting due to swollen seals. Turns out it was..

First pass out at 9:30am Total wheel spin, letting off in first and almost losing in 4th near big end ran 9.71 @ 146

Got a warning for not having all correct gear - and was told to keep it in the 10s..
Well next pass after some heat in track it hooked decent with a 1.39 - I had to stay in it at that point to get my new best of 9.45 @ 146..

Was able to coax him into letting me run again being he was not fully aware of the rules..

Spun pretty bad pulling a 1.47 60ft and ran the 9.50 @ 146 for video - Nedless to say they were having no more of me and sent me on my way..
Some good represntation of my shifting as well..


So on way home obtained a horrible shake, look in mirror to see trailer wheel ready to fly off.. Broke all studs I am assuming loose lugs maybe the cause.. Had to remove car and drive the remaining 60 miles or so home on my new slicks.....

Still more in it.. Looking to improve..

That thing is crushing/shaking the **** out of the tire on launch. Might pick up some with a stiffer sidewall.
