Thanks alot guys for all the nice comments and links to photos and vids,this is the most awesome race i've ever attended. The track is top notch, all the other racers are cool and friendly the competion is tough and the weather was perfect all weekend!! With the exception of the big wheel stand sat. night we figured out the radial with no wheelie bar combo pretty quick,with a few susp. tweaks and travel limiter adjustments and some tire pressure info from some of the other competitors we had it on a rail. The performace of the engine was compromised a bit by the bashing in of the passenger side y-pipe feeding into the turbo, i could really feel the engine lay down at the big end of the track as a result of it being choked off by a now smaller pipe. Other than that the old W2W bulit ls1 was kickin some ***!!(thanks Kurt).We plan on doing alot more radial racing this year as the 10.5 stuff has gotten way out of our league,cant wait to run the radial series all summer up in Milan Michigan. Some of the cincinnati guys will put up more pics when they get home later today!!

Hopefully I won't be able to read the scoreboard as they cross the traps like I did last time I ran against them in my pops car...they made a high-10 pass look like a 17 second pass...lol

Video here: http://stenodracing.com/milan/MM/Ohio_Boys_3.wmv

I should be a little closer next season but not close enough...they will give filipowski a definite run for his money!

Oh man I almost forgot the Titan car (import 190 ci inline 6 Turbo) was running 6.6's
That car almost took out the competition. The only cars going faster were 500 cubic inch twin turbos or 700 cubic inch monster motors.

Nero told me their car (Titan) ran 6.40@ 218 and 6.45@ 218 on Thurs TnT but as you saw in qualifying and elims they did not make a clean run, even the 6.63 qual run he clicked it off at 1000'

It is same Black Mustang on our front page that we run Limited Street and True Ten 5 races with here in Texas, been 4.84 in the 1/8. It has all of our Stock Suspension components on it.

Damn you guys are fast. Congs.
We took 2nd place, didn't get to race as the head went bad......
I am one of the guys from JnJ performance with the Maroon Mustang.
Awsome car guys, nice to see the records being shattered.
