Default New PB with the Firehawk

Went out Friday night to capitol with a bunch of friends and ran a new best. No 2 step in the car so I still have some room for improvement in the 60'. Also need to play with timing to help with spool up as well

Also pass was on about 14 psi maybe 15 as far as I can tell but I forgot to log that pass and the vac line came off my wastegate so I am not sure. If was my first pass off the trailer


60'- 1.634
330- 4.328
1/8- 6.401
mph- 119.69
1000'- 8.165
1/4 9.654
mph - 152.21


I made 2 other passes.

Spun out of the hole bad on pass number too and aborted.

3rd pass went a 1.7 60' and I got on and off the throttle in 3rd since the car got a little squirly. Still went a 9.9@147mph. Not sure of the break down of the rest of the slip as I need to get it out of the car still.

Here is a video of my last pass. They missed getting my 2 other passes.

STFU!!! I had Bruce directing me as I was trying to shoot that video, some dude bumped into me that is why it got all shakey in the middle.

The first pass Lt. Dan made, here's what happened. I was over helping Bruce & AJ get ready. I was like "oh ****, Dan will soon be up" walked over, JUST as I get to the wall I see Dan bogging it hard off the line.

Said "welp that sucked, won't be a good time" turned around & walked away.

Dan comes back to the truck and says "holy **** that was my best pass ever...."

WTF!!?!?!?!
