Default C/S NHRA National Record Holder 10.53 AT 127.50

Well had a good weekend and set the C/S record and passed my first teardown and inspection by NHRA. It wasnt my best pass ever,but you have to do this at certain races so its hard to pick your weather and conditions.
Just thought I'd share because I'm pretty pumped!!

Special thanks To Allan Futral for tuning the car.

Thanks guys the C stands for 9.00 x nhra rated horsepower + 170 for driver weight= weight of vehicle with you in it hope that makes sense.

What all did they check during your tear down? Where did you set the record and weather info if you don't mind?

Thanks guys!

Actually the car is an ls1.

As far as checking in teardown,head off to check everything about it no porting,cc's etc,cam lift,bore,stroke,wheelbase,trans for clutchless,measured top ring on piston how far down,headgasket, intake,t/b,valve size,piston out of the hole. Me being a factory longblock from gm all was good,fuel checked and weighed. It was a very cool experience like I said. I'm sure I forgot something ,but they looked at everything which is good.

Air was 850 da on my run with an 11 mph head wind.

Record was set at Gateway Motorsports Park.

Thanks guys I'm pumped still!!

I dunno why I thought you were running a LT1. Your LS1 explains the higher trap speed. That is a very nice accomplishment. Thanks for all the info on the teardown and the air.
