Default AWESOME time at Etown, even got a new best !!

I had a great night hanging with the guys from Cartek, QTP and TTP. It was nice to get to spend some time bs'ing with everyone and running the **** out of the cars.
Kyle ran a new best of 11.24 right in the next lane to me.-congrats!
TTP Matt was testing his new combo but I didn't get to see it, I'm sure he'll post up.
I made 4 passes
10.30
10.30
10.29
and my last pass was a new best of 10.24!!
that was on a 1.40 60'. Car has gone 1.32.

I'm gonna miss this motor once it's gone.

Thumbs up

Nice, and on a worse sixty foot no less. New bests aren't as common during this time of year (on unchanged combos that is) too...the barometer was good but it was still very warm out, good job dude.

way to go Mark!

If you're running this well on a CARTEK 408 built for nitrous... I bet you cant wait to get behind the wheel of a purpose built CARTEK 441!

Ya I had a great time seeing darkness then the smoke when I landed from 12 o'clocking the car standing off on the tree. The car didn't even gradually come up, it went from dead stop to straight up. Track prep was there tonight and I guess the 30" radial slicks hook well. Let's hope for no motor damage, but wheelie bars are a must on the car before it goes back out.

Thanks Marc.

Alex, I am really looking foward to this 441.

Matt, I replied to your other post, all I can say is "OUCH". Sorry man and yes I will be getting wheelie bars as well when the new motor goes in, at least until I get her dialed in.

Yup! I got him and Kyle running each other on both of their best ET's. Congrats to both of them. If you didn't get held up in the staging lanes, I would of had your first adventure on film also. Nice wheelstand. Expensive though!

It would make it so much easier if I had a DAMN PICTURE OF THE WHEELSTAND!!! lol. Jon, Rob and Matt told me that it was sickening and that it didnt gradually go up but I was standing by the time I was next to the tree. I dont think I even saw lights but I did see the big dipper...

That's true. The front end came up as soon as you launched. I only saw the first pass. When I was leaving, I was VERY surprised that you were back in the staging lanes.
