Default TX2K8 New record for N/A M6

Well made some great passes today, Sealy was hooking great, and won the Six speed class. We made 3 good passes 8.91, 8.92, and 8.90 in the final. Thanks to the wife and a great crew.

from the looks of the video it still has quite a bit left in it... it left the tire smashed for quite a few revolutions and it started moving around a little bit and got out of the grove... id say atleast a 8.80 is left...

i want a video of a burnout.... i love hearing a stick shift in the burnout box... makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up...

403CI 6L truck block, ET 255 Heads, 15.5:1 Compression. 3250 Race weight with driver. Pro 5.0 Shifter with Mcleod Softlock Clutch. We don't go thru the trans unless we are board or the guys just want to look at. I have had the same T56 Faceplated in the car for over 120 passes. The new one that is in it a different design slider and has been in the car for about 40 passes. The only reason we took it out was because we wanted to try this new slider design from liberty. It is awesome.

Thanks,
Amber

They made a change to the design. They now offer two types of sliders, and dog rings a 7 lug and a 9 lug. The 9 lug is the design that they have always had. The 7 lug are for the higher horsepower applications.
