Default New personal best. Vid link added.

Ran a new personal best at the Holley Fest. 7.65 @ 186

Vid of 7.66 run :http://www.youtube.com/user/ynotdv8?.../8/TLWKTgnhOuQ



I have to thank Speed Inc for all their help! They have worked with me on this car since 2002 when I bought it. Great combo that's working beyond my expectations. Tom, Jim, Dan :chugHUGE thanks to Eric at Midwest Chassis!!! Car had tons of power but I've been fighting suspension issues all summer! With his help I went a new personal best on the first run! Then backed it up with three 7.6's passes in a row. The car drove like a cadilliac. Can't thank him enough!

LME - Bad *** motor! The motor didn't miss a beat all weekend. Didn't change a plug, didn't add a drop of water. I haven't added a drop of water since I put the motor in this summer. On the last two passes I didn't even take off the hood!! That's no joke!


Also PSJ for the crew chief help again this year.

Just got the car hooking. I've been spinning the tire all summer. I only have three hits on the car with data. I lost that race by .06 but I was running 5 less lbs of boost (25) and my highest ramp rate was 11, lol. Oh and I left with 2.7 lbs of boost. (stupid driver) me!

I hear you. You know how I feel, it's so nice when it comes together after fighting issues. These car run in streaks with bad and good luck. I like the good better! lol

These things can really be money hungry at times! I can't wait to me up with you at the track. If you and LMR made it, it would have been a pretty good turn out for our class. Next time.

I'm going to turn it up and see where these little 76's give up. I also think it's time to take off the air filters.

congrats again

I'm so happy to see you get the car to work after seeing you out a few times fighting the suspension. I'm sure it will go even better now once you start leaning on it.
