Default Starting to lean on it... New P.B. 9.49 @ 144.39 mph!

that sums it up!

1.308 60'
6.074 @ 112.99 mph
9.495 @ 144.39

that was my quarter final run against Harlan, he went 8.58! :bow:

first pass i launched hard, pulled the front wheels about 2 feet off the ground, car wasn't lined up straight (my fault) i had to ease out of it as i was headed for the wall , wheels came down, i tried to straighten car as i got back into it, and then i immediately yanked the front wheels again! lmao!!!! i aborted that pass

then i qualified with a 9.70 pass at 142.58 mph, after that first launch i had to say i was very gun shy at nailing it out of the hole!

first round of elims, i went 9.97 @ 142.9 on 1.48 60' but i must say it is neat pulling the wheels at the 60' mark!

after that pass i made a suspension adjustment that allowed me to leave as hard as i wanted to! that 1.30 60' felt great!!!!

thanks to "ROCK CLIMBING" Roman, as usual for his help, and Hink for lining me up on my 9.70 pass!

i gotta lower that et for Allan to chase down i am just getting started! there is room to lean on it some more!

i also got some great video of that really fast tt hawk! congrats Harlan on your new p.b's and record!

Congrats. That 1.30 60' had to feel great, something I'll never experience.

ancient chinese secret i dialed it up from 175......all i will say is it was less than 400 the key is i can bump it some more safely! i can probably knock it down a couple of tenths...maybe.... i think! but man it is getting hard to knock down the et at this point!

i left that hard at grand bend earlier this year! what a rush!

Congrats again Taner on another PB. You took off like a bat out hell, with the freight train leaving the station right behind you.

It was a great pair of passes to watch for sure.
