Default gettin' back in form!

not a bad day for racing.... a couple of 9.3 passes, then huffed out a 9.11 @ 154 mph, on a 1.34 60'. 5.88 in the 1/8th @ 119.92 mph.

last pass went 9.27 @ 152.xx mph. on a 1.31 60'. this is carrying the front tires to or just past the 60' mark! i made sure top pack my nuts with me this morning, lol!!!!

10.6 off the trailer, then 4 low 9 sec passes, all 1.3x 60's. if the track was there i could have gone quicker the last pass i wheelied, left sideways, and then when i grabbed 2nd gear it went sideways again as it yanked the wheels.

hopefully get out again before it is all done.

the 5.88 in the 1/8th was a p.b.

new brake master worked like a champ!!! thanks for the quick *** response and even quicker delivery Madman!!!

DA was at 2900', raceweight 3600#'s

thanks everyone.

well alot is the same but some has changed intake manifold and throttle body is a bit different, and i am now using a Jeff Prock tuneup along ( i have had it in hiding for 2 years) with another tuneup. leaving on the fogger and bringing in a plate

clutch is still and will always be McLeod! it is the ****!

i have been out a bit lately but still ironing out bugs and learning new things. but man she is working great now!!! there is still some more improvement to be had with what is in the car. i hope to test the theories soon enuff ....again! (touch wood, just me being over cautious) my liberty built trans is still taking a beating...gotta love it! at the end of this year i will tear it down for inspection.

i hope to report back again, as life has me busier than all hell, but kids are a fun thing! nothing better to come home and see everyday.

sorry no video! both Randy and Bryan hate to video! my wife typically does the video and she does a smokin' job! problem with kids now she barely gets to come out. although we did goto milan 2 weeks ago for the no et nationals, and like the old days she crew chiefed for me helped to flow fuel and everything! a shame as bryan said my last pass was something to watch, damnit!
