Congratulations for having the fastest 6 spd in Louisiana and also in the United States. You are putting Louisiana on the map again. Keep up the good work and congratulations to Thunderracing crew and friends for top notch work. Maybe eventually I can make it to the NPR and watch that bad boy run. I currently have a job in Jennings and would love to see that car run. Cheers.................................

Jason, I had a blast watchin you run that thing down the track. With madman initialy tuning your suspension all we had to do was find what rpm/tire pressure it wanted and play with the shocks just a tad. I think we got pretty close. Too bad it didn't hold that 7000+ launch you tried..lol. When you had that first run where you kinda messed up a few things trying to get use to how fast those rpms fly with 500+ rwhp but picked up 36 mph on the top 8th Iknew we were going to see something spactular that night. I still think with some tweeking there is more HP to be found in that setup...and some of steves updated heads would just be icing on the cake. You guys at thunder racing have truely made a very impressive setup here. We need to get the vid up..its kinda jumpy at the end..mainly because I forgot I was recording and was celabrating...along with the rest of the thunder crew and friends that were there..lol.
Paul..your right..too bad you were having trouble making a clean pass. I know that one pass wtih the killer 60' you were on the way to a record breaking run....now sort that suspension out and get back to the track..lol.
Oh...and Matt...ya think so huh...lol. We will see. Steves heads will be on my car soon too you know. I think that 60-70 more cfm across the board will pick me up a tenth or two

Thanks for all the congrats!
The videos should be posted soon. Tim H has them all on his camera and will upload them whenever he gets some time.
The suspension credit goes to Madman. Brian spent one day scaling the car, adjusting ride height, pinion angle, sway bar preload, shock setting,etc at his shop. It is amazing how much this guy knows about suspension. I told him the problems I was having and he knew exactly what to change. The difference between the car before and after Brian adjusted it is night and day.
I have had a ton of emails today wondering about what bolt-ons the car has, so I'll list those now.

Great job Skeletor! Now go get some more seat time and get used to that combo for when the good air arrives. 10.30's are just the start... there is more on the table.
