FINALLY!!!! 9.91 @ 134.7 Naturally Aspirated....5 years in the making!!!! Well it finally happened!!!! First, pat i know you are going to come in here so thanks for convincing me to take the ride down!!!! lol.........also thanks tony q for taking the ride down with me buddy!!! In 24 hours we drove from RI to MD stomped a big pass and drove back home, hardcore bud!!! So now to the good part.......after all the struggling and all the bs finally got this thing going......
Pass 1.........
Came off the trailer and honestly i did not expect the car to hook, so i loosened up the front shocks and travel limiters........well i was wrong lol.....launched from a near idle (1800rpm) and backed off cause the car was about 8" from going on the bumper came down and dented a header tube not badly easily fixable..regained my marbles and drove it the rest of the track to a 10.20 @ 135.9....recieved my first and only warning for excedding 135mph... heres the go pro video of that ride....

Pass 2..........
I tightend up the front suspension as much as possible to try and keep it on the ground........came out off a 2500 launch and hooked hard.......i backed off at the 1/8th mile for fear of getting kicked out that fast......turned a 1.306 60' and 6.260 @ 107.9 in the 1/8th.......heres the go pro and outside video of that pass.......

Pass 3.........
Came out this time with the intention if it hooked and felt good i was gonna run it out and go for it.......came out high on the converter (IMO too high) 3300rpm.......Car ran a 1.30 60' to an 6.27 @ 107 1/8th and a 9.914 @ 134.77mph..........i wanted to run again so bad but they booted me.......heres the go pro, two other angles and the slip...........

But.....this doesnt mean im done here.............there will be more........

Congrats Mike!!!
This guy does nothing but help who ever, I remember when I was dealing with my car I was on the phone with Mike trying to fix my transmission issues and doing everything he could to help and as much as he helps everyone this is a VERY well deserved!
I know its early and probably not thinking about it but........Whats next for this thing??
