Default Colonel's NA 9 second passes!!!

Ok, some of you may have to right click on the link and then "save target" to make these work. For others just clicking the link may bring it right up.

These passes were made on November 16th.

Here is my very first pass into the NA 9s! It tied the SAM's 9.97 run. THIS IS BY FAR THE BETTER OF THE TWO PASSES TO WATCH! It's a 1.65 MB file...

Here's my second and last pass of the night. We removed the belt for this pass thinking that it would help the trap speed. It didn't. Actually, it hurt the trap speed and ran VERY hot! It didn't hurt anything thank goodness. I think having the engine too hot combined with less voltage to the ignition caused the lower MPH. Fortunately, I pulled a better 60 ft time than on the first pass which more than made up for the loss of power. 9.95 was the result! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" /> This one's out of focus and from behind the car looking through the smoke but at least the scoreboard is visible. A 1.08 MB file...

Here is the link to the details of those runs...

Wanna see a M6 N2O heads/cam car run a 10.87? Check out John Helms' pass! A 1.65 MB file...

Now for a pass by Shawn Roberts who I have to thank for sending me these videos. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> A 1.6 MB file...

Thanks to Shawn and also thanks to Larry Kato (PaiN) for hosting these clips for me. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Damnit.. It starts to load and about halfway through I just keep getting this message that says:
"connection to server has failed". I tried the "save target as" thing too.. Same thing. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

I think the traffic to it is too high right now. I posted links to this on the 'Vette forum and LS1.com too.

I just tried it and it worked. Must be that too many people were trying it at the same time when you tried it EvilLS1. Try it again. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

BTW, it took me 4 minutes and 5 seconds to download the 9.97 pass.

Cool videos, Colonel! <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />

As far as my car and N2O for a shot at a 9sec. 346; the thought does cross my mind from time to time, but it's not gonna happen... Wrong gear, too much converter, and me and N2O just don't get along... <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0">

Colonel,

Bad ***! I'm impressed!! I'm getting a 422 shortly, but it is for a more street application. I think I am also gonna get another TA/Z, put in another 422, and some auto yanked like mad. That video is inspiring me to lay down the dough.

Great run. <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />
