Still soft off the line and to the 330 though, huh? Looked like the best 1/8th you had was 5.01 and 1.4x 60', but I did see you running 151 in the 1/8th
It seemed that one run you had to let off cause of the power wheelie, you were out of the throttle for .8 on that run from what shawn said, that would of been good for at least .3-.4 and you ran 7.8x on that pass iirc.

I missed 2 rounds, one each qualifying and eliminations. I must have missed those, sorry
When I saw the first 7.7 pass, I figured that had to of made you feel good to best your old time on the old motor in the 1/4.
Did it push any water out onto anything around it like it lifted the head, or that it just blew the head gasket...?

Sorry to hear, hope its nothing terrible. I was wondering if/why it shut down at the end of the track to coast out.
Either way, hope its nothing terrible, good to finally see all these DR cars in person. Ive been wanting to for a long time, especially the home built ones like yours.

We were limping a compromised head gasket for quite some time...it was pushing some every pass...the suspect cylinder had water on plug when I pulled it. Will know more later this week.
Just didn't have time to get new ones in time for the race

Brian, it was great seeing you and Tabitha again. Sorry you had some problems but Andy had a small mountain of trans fluid bottles next to the trailer.
Tell Tabby thanks for the meatball subs!

two best timeslips...car 301
on the 7.746 run, I had lifted 2.5 seconds into the run for ~0.8 seconds due to the power wheelie. It was still way faster to 330 than my 7.723 run
