Congrats Mark. You need to tell me one of these times that you are going to a track rental. I would like to watch and hang out with the crew.

Congrats Mark that thing flies.

You guys who dont know he ususally drives the car to the track and it still looks like a street car. crazy to see it run so fast. Seen it a E-town last summer and was amazed what a nice car.

Yeahhhhhhh!! Nice vid of the Goats man!! I see some daylight under there!
I like that my car finished up the vid, nice job-good tunes!

Thanks everyone for the compliments-means alot!

Jersy TA-Cartek has one for ya

That particular run was a 3000 rpm footbrake launch.
The 9.59 was a 3500 rpm footbrake launch.
Haven't got this combo to leave off the transbrake yet-gonna need a 2 step because she didn't hold the 4500 off the transbrake last time I tried.
I have run as fast as 9.62 off idle.

I've been losing sleep at night trying to determine the best way to get my car to run a 9.50 on motor

Between you and Ashley this week you guys are making me depressed

haha-seriously you're running almost identical times to my old 408 so you got that thing moving pretty well.

Car won't be on a trailor for a while, I won't get spoiled, hehe

Thumbs up

Mark, that car leaves the line amazingly well, ran like a clock all day and still runs mid 9s no matter what the conditions.
Congrats again to you and Cartek Racing on the new bests.

Where did you guys go for dinner?
Julio, Bruce, Bob and I went to the Vincentown Diner, it used to be pretty good but the food is CRAZY expensive and not all that great now.
