Steve smoked the tires at 1100-1200 ft on one pass.
I kinda figured your rear took the dump, it sounded nasty and the look on bill wrights face was priceless.

I saw it first hand as well; standing (diagonally) behind the car as it launched. The spooling sound from that beast is unreal.

Thanks everyone.
Want to thank W2W for building us a monster of a motor. Haven't even started to beat on it yet. ALL PRO cylinder heads for making us a set of nasty heads. And BS3 for, well we all know what it can do.
Also want to thank our crew again. With running two cars now it is lots of work between runs. Steve did a good job as well. Had the crowd puckered a few times.

The track was just not hooking. There were even some big tire tube cars there that were having the same problems. Ohh well soon we will have a nice track, good weather and a 7 second pass or two.

Video will be up shortly as soon as we can edit it so that it actually looks like we went 178mph.

ya it sucked i only think that car had traction for like 10 ft. then it would break loose alot
almost ever pass steve had to lift, it would get real squirmy on the take off then again towards the end of the track

car just has way to much power

word on the street was they were running bout 15psi, should have turned her down to about 10psi then she would have hooked better.
