Default The Wait Is Over......the First All Motor Ls1 In The 8's

well like the topic says...the WAIT is officially over......today at US41 AFTER the MFBA SHOOTOUT.... my firehawk broke the 8 second barrier.....on motor.....which i believe would make it the first ls1 in the 8's....

well the best pass during the mfba track rental was a 9.004....which just made it impossible to call it a night...so we waited until the t&t session started tonight to set the new all motor record.....and in the process set the record for a 60 ft. off the foorbrake at 1.237 but that run only ended at a 9.113 @149.17

the best time during the mfba track rental.....

60 ft. 1.266
330 ft. 3.700
1/8 ET 5.738
1/8 MPH 120.69
1000 FT 7.502
1/4 ET 9.004
1/4 MPH 149.42

well after waiting over 2 hours for the T&T session to start here are the numbers that i have been after for the last 8 months......


here is a break down off the 2 8 sec passes....

60 ft. 1.274
330 ft. 3.691
1/8 ET 5.715
1/8 MPH 121.02
1000 FT 7.476
1/4 ET 8.971
1/4 MPH 150.55

and hereis the second 8 sec back up pass to the record thats EVEN faster....

60 ft. 1.26
330 ft. 3.672
1/8 ET 5.695
1/8 MPH 121.27
1000 FT 7.454
1/4 ET 8.951
1/4 MPH 149.92



i wanted to thanks W2W ( kurt, billy, rich, and the rest of the crew for building me A VERY POWERFUL LS1 ), BILLINGSLEY RACING ( JAY AND AMBER......i dont think that the car would have ran the number tonight if i hadnt been for you guys...you guys have the suspension on these cars down to a science.....i appreaciate it A LOT.....),
BEHIND BARS RACE CARS ( CHRIS "NOODLES".... for all the time you took to minitub and cage the car even though i just through the car at ya, and for all the little loose ends you have tightened up for me over the past 2 weeks.......you gave the little extra push we needed to get it done....)

and i also have to thanks all of my friends who gave me a hand in gettign the car to work at the track.....jason, john, nick,and sean (juggs)....YOU WERE ALL HUGE in the quest to go 8's on motor with a ls1

Looks like you guys did it. I am happy that you were able to raise the bar. I hope that you run it in the tech series. It will give some other guys *Wink*Wink* something to shoot for. Congradulations.
