Congrats. What kind of tires are on it, I've got 60' envy, you're pulling 1.8's with a truck and street tires, I feel like I'm having a great day if I pull a 2.3.

I ran in Orlando in my silver car and it was packed. Lots of racers there to practice for Sat. Night of Fire and Quick 32. Unfortunately everyone with a 14 or 15sec car decided they needed to get their new best. My 1st run was my only good run (before 300 street tired cars ran) ran 10.51 @ 129.02. The DA went down to -400 later at night but by then the track had been destroyed by cold and street tires.

Yeah, air was perfect, track was flawlessly sticky at BMP. Car was making power.

I fried my tranny on the very first run.

Thanks for letting me cut in front, the track was great on that 1st pass. Its amazing how the street tire cars can take rubber and VHT off the track in just 1 round.

Caveman you will have to bring your cars to Palm Beach International Dragway.Did you see the picture of LoudmouthLS-1 dragging his back bumper that's how good the new track is he has never done that before.It would be nice to meet some of you central FL. guys once i recover from this bike accident.

Gainesville was down to -1400 DA around 9 p.m. when we packed it in. The air was but 47-55 degree track temps aren't the best for hooking a 900+ rwhp car.
