Coach,

Great runs...I am more impressed with how the motor is doing. It gained almost 26 mph in the last 1/8th mile with you letting off the gas, I wonder what mph it would have done had you stayed in it? I forgot what your combo is and too lazy to search for it....is it a 346 ci Hyd Heads/Cam package?

CONGRATS!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Mir Naziruddin ,
I think that the Hot Rod would have run a 10.97 to a 10.99 on that last run. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I was running 123 mph on all my other runs. Maybe, I may have run 124 to 125 on that last run. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I have a Thunder Racing LS1 346 HYD H/C motor with 257 passes on her. What a motor! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

mykdriver,
Living in South Texas does pay off in the long run. My season will be over the 2 weekend of Nov. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Awesome runs Coach!!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Looks like 10's are in the bag...

It's awesome for a motor with 250+ passes running a new best... Keep tweakin'

We'll get you those 3 tenths. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hey there Coach, I don't remember seeing the car there last Wednesday. I was running the lowly ol trophy class with my slow excuse for an f-body 13.61...so i wasn't paying too much attention to the No-E class. Who did you run in the final?? What track are you running the Ihra bracket finals for in Shreveport??

I think he was asking what track you were racing FOR... as in what team you were on. I thought HRP was your home track and it's NHRA. Which IHRA track were you with at the bracket finals?

Yeah, I meant what track were you running for cause I know the guy who won Top ET up there and he runs at some place out past Katy. Your car seems pretty consistent too, looks like it rund within .2 of each run. My Auto car is close but is real sensitive to weather changes. Was that I/SA car an old Mustang by chance?? Cause I remember seeing and old mustang s/e car out there, wondered if that was the guy.

Haywood,
Sorry I missed ya. I ran a S/E car, it was white. I/SA I think. Are you going to the Thunder Racing Shootout? I was racing at Red River Raceway in Gilliam, LA. Check out my new post on the results. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Ok, I understand now. I was racing for Temple Academy Dragway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

No, It was not a mustang but I think it was a ford. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

My Hot Rod runs pretty good. I just read my weather station to make sure what to dail. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
