Default Worm Boy runs 8.50 first pass

First pass, shut off way before the 1000 foot because the car was pulling towards the center I guess. 1.40 60 foot leaving on 2 lbs of boost and 18 lbs max. Houston, we might have a contender! More to come later. He's at the Clash of the Titans in San Antonio right now running for true 10.5. We'll let everybody know as things progress, but he wanted me to let everybody know what it ran because he was pretty excited. He said it feels like a rocket ship Congrats Steven!

It's been out and running almost every weekend since Atlanta? We just do a lot of 1/8 mile racing with it, and haven't hit the magic 7 yet. But all in due time my friend, all in due time. It's out there right now in SAR right now for the Clash as well..

they ran until 12 midnight and a bolt of lightning struck and out went the lights. when they came back on rain was falling and they called it. i went 500 miles one way to watch and it was worth the trip. the car looked good and was impressive. keep upthe good work.

I just want to say thanks to everyone that came with us to the track and helped out at the clash of the titans this past weekend, couldnt have thrased to make the race without yall. We 60' footed the car a couple times on friday night, just so I could get a feel of the new setup. Saturday morning we decided to air it out the entire 1/4 to see what she would do on low boost(18psi). The car went a 5.40 in the 1/8 at 136mph with a 1.40 sixty and around the 1000 ft marker the car started to drift towards the center lane so I got out of it and coasted to a 8.55 @159mph. Right before first round we decided to go up on the trans brake to tune the car and the tranny let go so I didnt make the call. Hopefully I will have a new tranny in the car within a week or so and be back out haveing some more fun.
