Nice run! Caught him napping at the tree, otherwise it would have been a very close race.

Was the mustang dark blue with bigs and littles? Any idea if him and the cobra guy was from lafitte? If so, that car usually runs low 10's in the 130's.

Your car runs damn good!! Love to see what it would do with some nitrous.
I'm not sure about the 5.0 but the Cobra guy does. The 2 does know each other. I normally run low 10's right at 130mph.. My best time so far with the new motor was 10.39@129.96mph SO I just rounded down to 129mph.. Ima be working on the N2O kit soon. Ima hit it with about a 200-250shot..

I went 10.57@128mph and he went 10.75@127mph So I was over a second ahead of him.. Not that close.. I launched out about a car and a half on him and thats where it stayed. Both cars were pretty even in power I just left a lot harder than he did..

My 60ft was a 1.44 and his was a 1.61..

My 1/8 mile was 6.7@101.85 his was 6.9@100.43
My 1/4 was 10.57@128mph his was 10.75@127mph

o.k. I just found out that his best 1/4 mile time so far is a 10.36 so he should have been a little closer to me than he was. He said he was having shifting issues with the tranny.. Looks like our cars are pretty evenly matched. His best so far was a 10.36 and mine was a 10.39..

I was out a car by just treeing him and he wouldn't have had enough to come back and get me. But if he treed me I wouldn't have enough to catch him.. Drivers race for sure..
