Who is gonna be first to the 8's with a nitrous LT1????

Just wondering...... Since the "first to the 6's on a drag radial" thread is getting beat to death over on yellowbullet.com i was wondering who everybody thinks is gonna be first to the 8's with an LT1 on spray.....

currently stroked30th is the king of the hill with his 9.034 at bandimere but I think he hurt a piston. don't know how long he'll be "in the shop"....

So who? Ellis, Tony Shep, Me???? there's a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head that were getting close to the mark but i'm unsure of their intentions, track availability or car status....

So roll call? who's gonna get the jacket?? LOL

I have a feeling its already been done, and the person that has done it just doesnt care about posting numbers on the internet. Im sure that most all "LT1 internet records" are not accurate.

Yeah at bandimere elevation would be like 6500ft. If he would get to a lower elevation track I'm sure he'd be ***** deep into the 8s.

Tony has still only hit his lt1 with a baby shot. Once dialed in all the way and he hits with a a real dose of nitrous that thing is gonna fly!!!

Too bad stroked30th was just some better air away
