the blower belt did not completly break. it striped the teeth of the belt in first gear and went down the track sliping the belt giving low boost.

Not only would I like to see Duke or Harlan run 7s, hell, I hope they run 6s someday. But I am highly sceptical that iDuke ran 8.16 with "low boost" from first gear on. It may have dropped from, say, 25 lbs. to 20 lbs. (I'm guessing), but I do not believe that it would run 8.16 unless was under 90% or greater boost or power. JMHO.

Based on what the car ran at Thunder normally and what it would take to run the 8.11 (assuming everything is close to the same) I don't see it running that fast unless the belt came off or started slipping really late in the run. Hopefully their run data will tell them where and someone can chime in. But, they have typically beem a quiet group so I don't expect to hear anything from them.

Nonetheless, congrats to the Hardcore team for stepping up. It looks like they had a good time in the weather down south, considering it's fricken cold here right now!.

I second the congrats, and we too are looking forward to leaving the Denver cold and testing again in Phoenix in late January. Maybe some 7-teens this trip.

That pic of broken parts and pieces was from Annette Summers turbo promod vette.
Ds broke and took out the trans showering her with bits and pieces inside the car.
That pic was not related too dukes effort.

I was just reporting what was posted in the original thread

I do not think it'd run anywhere near that fast with the belt off after first gear

Does he have a powerglide in the car?

DERTY

Rossler TH400 I believe. They let Rob Golobo borrow it in Orlando back a month or so ago when he broke his after they didn't get so far in the Drag Radial class. Rob ultimately went on to win in his class with their help. I don't believe they changed it over to a glide or anything like that.

I think it had a low/ custom first gear in a TH400. 2.2x/2.1x I believe?

Race Car Driver

It probably has the same 2.10 low gear that my Rossler has (2.10/1.40/1.00). It's Rossler's high hp T400.

Appears to be the C5R engine out of the vert that was in the car when it went 8.11. As best I can tell that isn't the same engine that was in the car at Thunder.

from what ronnie and jason mcneil was saying at BMP, it was the C5r motor. they just transported the motor to this car. i mean they have enough recources.
