Congrats Mark.

One of the things I like most about your car is how it leaves.
Not too high, not too low, just right.

You know those Silver cars just Rock!

Mark your car has always impressed me, your 408 times were where I was trying to get to last year, I felt that if I could match that I had a solid strong running car. Never did quite get there, and not yout 441 n/a times are already as fast as I went with a 150 shot LOL.

Awesome running car, I'm gonna have to try to make it to a QTP race this year, probably won't be until the last one at the rate it's going, but I know one thing for sure I'm gonna have to get faster if I even want to keep up!

Hopefully. I'm trying to get it together right now, I may end up skipping a couple things I wanted to get done to try to make it happen. this season. Motor may just get a compression check, and if it's o.k. a set of valvesprings and call it a day. Ran great all season, I wanted to take it apart just to go thru it, but at this point I may just put some springs on it and call it a day. Probably be fine even not doing the springs, but better safe then sorry on that front.

Mark I can not beleive how it left off the footbrake can't wait to see it leave off the transbrake. Mid 9's is increadable do you think if the car left off the transbrake you would run low 9's high 8's. It is just one awesome machine.

I don't think that setup is going 8's n/s, but I can see it going 9.30 once it's all figured out.

Gonna need some travel limiters for that thing, if you don't have them already

We were thinking 9.3x as well when it's all figured out. No way she'll see any faster than that w/o going solid roller.
The goal with this set up was mid 9's. Any faster than that is icing on the cake.
