That's too fast! Slow down before you hurt someone!
J/k. That's impressive. Can you tell the raceweight and power numbers or is that...

According to the scales at the track it was 3520lbs with driver. But we had a stock passenger seat and harness in the car. Which is being replaced with another Kirkey. We should be right above 3450lbs for Thunder.
HP/TQ numbers are in the W2W 403 thread.

Hmm i thought the slip with the passenger read somthing like this

Rt .383 ...... -.006
60' 1.377 ..... 1.856
330' 3.756 ...... 4.895
1/8 5.690 ...... 7.312
mph 128.24 ...... 101.92
1000 7.339 ....... 9.401
1/4 8.735 ........ 11.191
mph 160.90 ....... 125.66

unless your talking about another one, im pretty sure thats it cause i have the other part to it.

Story line:
As im in the line the staging guy asks me if i want to run against steve, i say "why not at least ill be in a few videos"
Nowing that im going to be running against him, i look at him in his car, he looks at me, i give him the thumbs down telling him that he's going down. He looks at his passenger in confusion, they converse then realized what i ment, they give me the "L" symbol (for looser). Realizing i am out gunned by 10 times the horsepower i know i have to play dirty. I line up with no burn out (so i dont fry my clutch like i did on my first pass) and wait for them to complete theres. We stage. The lights flash as i leave .006 seconds before i should, seeing i have the lead i give her all shes got. about one second and a half later, i see my lead deminish as over 1000rwhp comes whisling by me like lightning. I lay into her more trying to catch back up, i come close to the time board and as i pass it i see W.......8.735.......16 then i pass it and cross the finish line.
i see his cute open as he slows down, its all over now.

That was the second time the car went down the track with a passenger. The car was still hot from the first passenger ride which was a 8.61.

Either way you got.
