No I have not. Probably won't run 1/4 till the shoutout. All my races are 1/8th mile in X275. Will be in Georgia for Lights out 5 this month. That will be first time out this year.

I said it before, I bet you could run it just as it sits and get a 7. You trap 155 right now. Take it to 160mph, and then coast for a second. You'd cruise through the traps in the high 7's.

I have not been on a worse track in 10 years then what we were dealt in BG. They did nothing to prep that track and it was flat out dangerous. I can not believe how bad it sucked. You dont come across that to often. The last few times there that place sucks. The LS fest I heard was the same a week later.

Just an update as we went a little faster last weekend with a 4.72 152.70. With the change on the shocks we had to work some wheel standing problems out again and had to short shift high gear in the air to keep it down. We are close on the shocks now so that should be behind me. I have to make a converter change also because the new inter cooler/ intake set up has picked up so more boost and I'm driving through it on the big end. Be back out soon.

Good-looking race car for sure!
Yea and at these speeds on 275s, you're most often racing the track itself rather than the car in the other lane. It takes a very good surface to hold anything running that fast on that tire, and things can change very quickly.
A 7 second pass would be big news in the LTx world for sure!
