One of my friends sent me this pic online...pretty cool.

Great to meet and chat with so many people after the race. I guess it looks slower than it is...

Man that car is cool. I didn't know it is that fast. I dig it, it is different.

I had a 9.21, 9.08 and a 11.50. I was right there with yeah til it popped a fuse. lol.

The best line is:

The participant agrees that participant is in the best position to know about the construction and
operation of participant’s vehicle, equipment, and clothing, and whether there has been compliance with all applicable NHRA & NMCA rules.

I forgot to put my net up on one pass this weekend and was pissed at myself. I always apreciate when someone on the line helps remind me. If anthony blatently disregarded the requests he should have been stopped at the burnout box. No safety equipment no pass.
DQ after the fact is BULLSHIT.

If I'm not mistaken they should be they same format. All cars need to conform to the NHRA rule book for class and ET/speed.

I am not sure if Anthony is on here or if anyone else has a engine pic from the event? I dont remember seeing the engine, but am curious what that beast looks like.

What kind of gear ratios/ tires you guys running in the 1/4? I norm run 1/8th with a 3.54/26"tire combo and trapping close to 6k @120+. I'm not sure I got enough gear for 1/4 ?

I'm trapping 142 on the spray. I'm to the point were I'm ready to add a chute. That is the ONLY thing I do not have for the next speed level.
I may try to get it on by Indy. My buddy builds the mount and sells them. He gave me one a while back. Now I need the rest of the stuff for it.

My car will cut killer et's on very low mph. I think 150 mph in my car will be about 8.80 et.

I'm Anthony, the engine bay needs some finishing and some color matching but it looks ok.
