Pass Time Appearance
About 300 pounds worth. Last time I scaled it, the car weighed 3350#'s with driver in race trim. It was actually a little heavier for the show. I'm taking some more weight out this fall/winter, as well as losing weight myself. I was about 235 on the show, I'm 208 and falling now, hope to be around 170/180 this winter. Race weight with driver should be around 3250, but maybe even lower.
Suspension is pretty close to stock, just the usual upgrades, nothing adjustable. I'm gonna throw an adjustable UMI TA on it soon.
Car was capable of high 11's with traction at show time, but I didn't want to push my luck and pop an axle, or blow the tires off. Since the show I've gone mid 1.6's without breaking anything.
Could have had an 11.9x in that crappy air.
Again, thanks for the compliments guys. I don't really think the car is that fast/special. I'm hoping for 10's within the next 6-8 mos with spray.

I almost started a thread about that show after seeing you make that pass. Way to represent man. I really liked how you didn't talk the car up a whole lot. There were a couple Vette guys on the show and it seemed to me that they thought their cars were really something special. If I remember right both ran in the 13's. Then you come out and run like a 12.3 with "just a few bolt on's". I loved it man. I'm sure you could have done better with some drag radials but you still showed up the other guys and ran way better than what they guessed you would run.

Heck yeah man....I was wondering if it was somebody on the boards. Way to represent
They are almost always guessing at least a second too slow on all the ls fbodys. I would have thought Ken would have learned by now. He is good at the pretty much race car stuff though.
When you said 300 passes my guess went from 12.8 to 12.6

, and I was babying it off the line. I still think that, as well as they had that track prepped, I could have pulled one of my mid 1.7 60's and been lots closer to an 11. And yes, "Ms." Paige Simpson is very attractive in person, but she's also a really sweet girl. I was very nice and courteous, in part because my wife was watching. A friend of mine told her that she was "hot" though.
