Way to go George! I agree with Tom that you made an impressive showing against the big dogs with your little 382! Good luck on your quest for 9's. Keep up those awesome 60' times! (pun intended <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

Wow!! So close. I would have liked to see you leave off the T-brake at Silver Dollar, but I don't think you had it working. Good luck!!!

Yes there is video. Most of them are pretty bumpy (hey it was friggin COLD!!!!) and the lights get blurry as he is going down the track. The first wheelstand looks awesome though, lol.

Congrats,man that little ole 382 is flying.That 1.33 short time has to feel great.
You need .062,did you drive with sneakers drilled out[swiss cheese mod] and of course no heavy socks?LOL.
Come on and get that 9.99 out of the way.Good luck.

Re: New best, almost got my 9 sec. NA pass
congrats George! Sorry I missed the fun, as I hear the air was about as perfect as could be. I may head out on Saturday for the midnight street legal race, are you still considering going?
Either way, congrats again, and I'm sure you'll get your 9 second pass soon!

Re: New best, almost got my 9 sec. NA pass
Congrats George, I watched one of those passes. Incredible. We all got quiet when you made your pass, and there was a collective, OH HHH!!!! Once the time came up. Oh so close.
I alo had two identical time slips( albeit much slower ones, lol) down to the thousandth.

Thanks Matt, yeah that's me... Those were my first runs with the new motor, I was pretty pleased to say the least. BTW, SSMOKUM is the tag, and it was well worth the trip up from Tampa to run.

Joey, didn't you mention that you were planning on racing at the Snowbird Nats? What days are you going to be there? Looks like I may make that my last race of the year, and run on Saturday (Dec. 7th), and maybe Sunday, too.
Maybe we can catch up with each other this time! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: New best, almost got my 9 sec. NA pass
well not to worry George, of course it's raining now, 90% chance today! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
BTW, I got a chance to see the videos, man the first pass the car was definately hooking up!
Maybe next time I'll get off my *** and go racing!

Drive on up here to Cecil for next weekend. We'll get you the DA to put you in the 9s. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
