Default New PSB @ The Biggest & Baddest Race around!!!

I had an awesome time in Orlando running a new best and was on Drag Radials @ 3,430lbs 7.76 @ 179.64. I also ran a 7.78 & 7.79 and a top speed of 185.56. We qualified 2nd out of 91 entrees and lost in the 3rd round of eliminations when I messed up staging and failed to build boost.

I can’t wait to put the slicks back on, add the wheelie bars and take the weight out. Looking for 7.50’s this weekend.


Thanks for all the support and it was great seeing the guy's that stopped by to say hello.

Major props for qualifying so high. You respresented LS1s very well.

Nice stuff. The vette was really moving out! Is that still an aluminum 422? What are the engine specs?

Congrats again!

Thats a real nice 3rd gen you have and damn that thing is fast. I got some parts in Sat night qualifying too , I got way more traction then I planned on and put it on the bumper hard ,no engine damage but I bent(slightly) the K member headers and mufflers.
