Default Late Model Racecraft @ Pinks

We were number 1 qual with a 7.80 @ 179. We were limited to the 91.5mm turbo and only ran it on 21lbs of boost. Number 2 qual was a 8.3 something so there was no need for us to turn the boost up. It was nice meeting all of you that stopped by the trailer to chat. Definately was cool running with the stands as packed as they were. Here are a couple quick pics and vids.

You know you are fast and got some series ponies when all you have to do is stomp on the gas for a burn out. That thing is sick and remember that build thread but no idea you were cuttiing it loose at picks. Congrats on a sick *** fast car and I love the looks of it too

Can you say 114mm turbo? Madman and Brady definately have a bad *** car. We shall see how we do against them this weekend in Hattisburg Mississippi. You have to remember though, they are a Big block car on alcohol vs our little LSX on gasoline.

Were you limited to the 91mm because thats all you had? Surely Pinks doesnt have a turbo size rule do they? Also what was the deal with the 4 car shootout for the low et of the race? Were you guys not eligable to race in that?

Sorry for all the questions, those were some badazz runs for sure. Cant wait to see the 114 on it. Kenjo said it was night and day from his 106 to the 114. Good luck to you at Hattiesburg!!

They called us about 2 months prior to the race saying that they wanted to put on a stock suspension race as a filler race for their pinks all out show. They invited 10 cars to the event and the top 8 qualifiers battled it out for the money. They limited us to the 91.5mm turbo. Trust me, I would have loved to have the 106 on there and shoot for some 7.4's.

Good runs! We had a street car event up here in Dallas this weekend also...our car(03 Cobra) went a 7.90 @ 181 on radials with a 91 also.....would have been a good race between us! What have you heard about the 114? We installed one not too long ago on one of the shop cars, and its broke the shaft on the first run. Thats with two blowoff valves installed...which I heard is a must have. Several people on yellowbullet where having the same problems. Our 114 was a standard wheel also, not the billet
