Default New LS1 NA Record for the Colonel!!!
Well, it's been a pretty dry spell for me lately. Had only made two passes down the 1/4 mile since the BG event for various reasons. My previous summertime best was a 10.06.

Raceweight was about 3060-3075 lbs.

We busted *** today trying to get the car ready for tonight. Got there mighty late. Only got two passes in....

I came out easy on the transbrake because I didn't think the track would hold an all out launch. I only stalled it to about 3500. It stuck like glue.

1st pass
1.44
6.36
108.89
9.972
135.76

OMG!!! <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0"> Tied the SAM'S record on the very first pass!!! If it ends right here, my night is a success! <img src="images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Gonna need a more aggressive launch next time.

OK, 2nd pass, I'm ready to launch on the T-brake at about 4200....but wait, the DAMN THING ISN'T WORKING AGAIN!!! Oh well, the staging lanes are closing so might as well just foot stall it up and take what you get...

1.40
6.33
108.76
9.955
135.39

NEW NA LS1 RECORD!!! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

More details tomorrow for tonight....well, you know the rest! <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Also, I was VERY glad to see my bud John Helms break into the 10s but I'll let him tell you about that. A BIG congrats to him!!! I told you it wouldn't be long. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
