Default New BeaSSt Update!!!

The BeaSSt is running at HRP right now and has run a new best right off the trailer. I don't have all of the details, but...
1.34x 60', 9.75x @ 138.xx!!!

We have fixed the cracked oil pan and did a little suspension tuning with Joe's help since Thunder... Hopefully they will get the record later this evening.

Yes Pain, they are done. Looks like they watched your video too closely and were jealous!!!

They left off the transbrake at 3k on the first run and everything went well. For the second run, they decided to try a 4k launch... After a 1.39 60' with the back wheels the car slammed down pretty hard. BIG crack in the oil pan, crushed filter, etc... The night is done.

I am sure Dave or Stephen will post more details when they get home.

Maybe next week <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
