The 8.75 was on a 100 shot. We upped it to 150 and ran a 8.69, just shy of the record.
Someone lined up next to us and was ******* on our car a bit. He blew his rear out as soon as he left. I helped the track officials clean up an picked up parts of his rear end.

Nice job! 
That 60ft is killer! What is the raceweight? Tire size? 4 link and back halfed? On Alcohol and nitrous?
This gets me motivated to get back out there.
I guess you got that fuel pump issue fixed? LOL

Yea it hung the front for a little bit. I was leaving off 35% on the progressive. it's 2120lbs with me in the seat. Tires are 16x33, full chassis car, Mark Williams 9" behind the 4 link. Yea alky and nitrous.
that is 1,180 lbs lighter than my car.
I am at 3,300 lbs.I need to throw my engine in something like that!
Congrats on your new best. You have more in it ill bet.
Mike V needs to put his motor in for na, I bet that thing could run high 8 too. You would crush the record in my car.

This was the 8.69, you can't really see the scoreboard though. The video isn't perfect as I was trying to watch the run more than record it.

Probably wont get a perfect reaction time for quite a while, but we have gotten some .005 times.
I should have given it the 200 jets last night.

Another video, it was slower in the 60ft so either the track fell off or we were spinning.

The think that was probably really causing our oil milk was most likely that we weren't leaning out the motor on the return road before.
Every pass we made there was about 1/2 a shotglass full of alcohol in the vacuum pump tank. If you keep your motor warm, that would most likely evaporate out.
I run 20W-50 Penzoil, nothing special. I used to change it every 3-4 miles, but the vacuum pump sucks the alcohol right out of the crankcase. I get 2-3 tablespoons of alcohol every run, so I might try running it longer.
