Yep Big Daddy is the man right now. We have one of his turbos from his past setups sitting in our shop right now. It's a big azz turbo.

I was just wondering who was the fasted DR 4th gen car.

I'm not sure. I have been trying to think offhand what records I am aware of.

I know mid low 10's has been done.

I'm seriously contemplating a set of MT DR's and if I do that I would hope to run mid to low 9's at some point with 800rwhp.

Cool, let's meet up at No Problem and we'll match race to see who has the fastest DR 4th gen... Maybe the Thunder people could help set something up for such a class. Sort of a stock suspended deal with any motor/power adder you wish to run. I know of 3 cars here that would be interested, and pretty competitive.

Well it would be cool, but personally I think the Shootout is jam packed with classes. The weekend is pretty cluttered. Maybe put the "4th Gen Drag Radial Challenge" on a different weekend... I think it would bring some new competition, and level the playing field for many. Some of the super fast cars will have to tone down a little to stick these radials to the track...

....who knows it just may turn out to be a neat race.

Your buddy went 9.55 on DR's right, Brady? So that might be the record. Even if they are DR's bigger than the slicks that most folks on here.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I don't recall anyone going faster on a set of DR's...

Brady is my God
