so i leave my house at 9 am, get to the track around 10 am, gates open @11, get in, do the tech, get the car ready bla bla bla, around 1 is they call quick street! jump in my car get up there ready to go, car is running mint, burn out, purge pre stage stage, drop the hammer, about 300 feet out, i hear my car, sounded like i poped the motor, i get out of it, back into it, and it sounded like hell! i shut down and roll to the endpull over take the hood off thinking im going to see a rod hanging out the side next thing i know, Joe comes down, do you know what happend bla bla, you have to be more carefull, bla bla. find out, my Muffler fell off

get back, go to rig somthing up, jack thecar up and see the pass side tire got a huge chenck ripped out of it
i send my girl home to get a tire, mybuddy swaps them out, she goes to my shop, gets some hanging stock, getsback to thetrack about 4 pm, im ready to run, however i didnt qalify so i was out, and the track was running behind so they didnt let us run with the people who qualified, so i talk to one of the guys, he tells me, later they will.
sit there til like 9:30they call TnT, i go up, andthey wont let me run!
go over tak to joe, tell him what i did, he said fine, go ahead and run, but make it good, cuz you arnt going again tonight!


thanked him and ran back. now i was last car in line, it cooled way off, i was waiting for 1/2 hour. by the time i was ready to run my bottle had cooled down to 960 bottle pressure, which was ok, go up, do my burn out, and they shut me down, the guy infront of me poped his motor or somthing
so i wait another 15-20 minits, by now my windows are foged up, and bottle pressure is down to 900
do another burn out, pre stage, stage, boom, car lifts perfect, felt real good, bang 2nd stage kicks in, |YH|A |WH|oO|OOOOO, i knew i was on a ride! car went perfect after my suspention tweeks last week!
about 800 feet, i feel the car start to nose over, look down, bottle pressure is like 700, so i lifted just enoph to kill the spray, and motored threw, get to the end, didnt throw the chute, but stopping was slow i knew i was on a good pass, get down the end, pulled a couple plugs, they where FAT cruse down to the time slip booth to get my slip i get this!

thanks to everyone of my crew, and thanks as always to East Side for helping me build a bad *** setup!!! and Nitrous direct for great nitrous parts

 

That stinks.

With that 1/8th ET you should be able to nick the 8's

yhea, like i said, thebottle pressure was down, and running rich with a 10th delay in my 1st stage, a little tweeking and 1000 bottle pressure i think the car has an 8.8 in it

 

set up is Noyzee racing/eastside performance short block, custom nitrous pistions, lunatie rods, afr out of the box 225 heads custom esp cam, fast 90 with custom cold fussion/nitrous direct/noyzee 2 stage setup, nw t-body, stock maf with screen, esp tuned, power glide moser 12 bolt w/spool

 

cool thaks, and congrats.

 

Kickass Brad. Did you get an videos of this run? Your other videos have been great!

 

You should sell those junk AFR heads and get Dartons.



















JUST KIDDING! LOL No harm intended to anyone.

 

Hot damn noyzee I was waiting to see how your setup would do. I think you are the only guy swaying me to go back to an aluminum block. Just don't know how they'll do over a long while with those power levels.

Congrats on the times. How come they weren't going to let you run? Sounds like they didn't like you or something .

Oh, and that is the most sleeper 9 second car (soon to be 8) I've ever seen. Sweet ride.

 

thanks. they wernt going to let me run because it was an event, and they where running behind, but im glad they did
