Default First day in the 9 sec range

The car ran consistent 9.90 passes at 138 mph with a 9.86 and 9.85. The best 60' time of the day was a 1.463 which is terrible for a car running these ET's...so I have some work to do. It should get to the 9.60's and maybe even a high 9.50 with some suspension work, more gear and maybe a transbrake.

Nice run. That is a very clean car.

What did the rest of your time slip look like?

Thanks for the compliments! I don't have any slips uploaded but just about every pass had an 1/8th miles time of 6.38-6.39 @ 111mph. The 60 foot times were almost all 1.46-1.480's and I can't remember 1000' mark times. The mph in the quarter was 138 on almost every pass and one 139.88 on a 9.91 pass.

Nice! That thing must be making some big power to pick up almost 30mph on the big end pulling 3300 pounds. It looks so calm during the video too.
