New Best Today - 9.97 Still at 3340 lbs. Only change since my 10.14 run was a re-stall on the converter and weather. Damn thing pulled the wheels up again but no damage.
Maple Grove Raceway
DA: +240
60': 1.335
1/8: 6.341
MPH: 108.31
1/4: 9.972
MPH: 135.24
I'll be at Cecil next weekend looking for 9.8's.

Re: New Best Today - 9.97 Congrats to you Dave (SLED28). You guys built one hell of an engine.
I have beat the crap out of this motor every weekend since June and it has never skipped a beat. I set the valves once but it still has the same TR6's that we put in. No dropped sleaves, no coolant leaks, no blown head gaskets, just power power power.
I backed up this pass with a 9.975 @ 135.29.
See you guys around the holidays.

Re: New Best Today - 9.97 Many congrats dude!
Are you going to the SSOTN deal at Cecil next Saturday? I know there are one or two F-body's that normally show. I plan to go. Long range forecast doesn't show real good air, but hey, forecasts change from day to day, so we'll see. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: New Best Today - 9.97 Congrats Mikey,
Great to see you cracked the nines <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , I knew that a converter adjustment would be the answer. Just wondering if you got a video of your run, so that we can post it on our website? Maybe next season we'll get to run some 9.50's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Todd: It never had a fogger. Last year I ran a TNT ring with a 150 pill.
These times are all motor. I don't spray it any more.
I concentrated this year on weight and suspension. Looking at the 1.33 60', I would say my suspension is kickin'

Re: New Best Today - 9.97 Great times Mikey! Just goes to show you that you can run just as good with less power, as long as you have the suspension setup correctly. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Re: New Best Today - 9.97 Mikey that is SERIOUSLY IMPRESSIVE!!!
I like a N20 but themotor car to me is more impressive.
Keep it up------>9.70's are just around the corner.

Don't put the car away yet, the 23rd looks like better weather. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
