Default NEW BEST

I took my Z to the local STREET DRAG DRAG night for some T&T.

9.92 et
136 mph
1.37 60ft off footbrake


I DROVE THE CAR OVER 1.5 HOURS TO THE TRACK AND BACK
(each way)

I wanted to try the trans brake ,but didn't want to push my luck

I tried the 250 shot ,but did't work well. I think I need dual intanks or maybe just a colder plug then TR6.

I couldn't be happier with my car. The RGR/SPEED INC. motor is performing awesome.

I am sure some vids will be available soon,they had tons off camera there last night.

Larry

Yea, the car was running strong as hell, I liked when you took out that red car, everyone thought the little black camaro wasn't going to be able to handle it...

You took care of that problem....

Congrats on the new best...

Hell, your LT1 surprises me too! Congrats Larry. Driving a 9-second car to the track and back is too funny if you think about it.

thanks again everyone
cain:
I have every intention to be at Thunder Shootout. I picked up an enclosed trailer Saturday for the trip

Taner: what plugs you running in that beast of yours?
congrats on the new N/A times as well.

I want to put some hotter plugs in and go for my 10.xx on motor before the years up too!

I just keep wanting more,since the car keeps going better each time out and it's still early!

Larry,
the car is so flawless and clean!! Even as a racecar, it's got the showcar attitude as well. Love the rim/tire setup on the car.

I asked Jon about this, but who did your cage and ballpark $$?? It looked very good.
