Congrats to the LMR crew for getting their second LSX win. It was a great weekend of racing. I'm glad LME was a part of the wining combination. You guys know how to make that turbo set up do work!! My hat goes off to Josh, Robert & Joe for putting the time and thought into making the chassis set up work for race day. You guys are top notch.

I watched that pass from the traps, car looked great. I did hear a little popping, but it was moving.

She was on the limiter for the last couple seconds probly cause the trans was starting to let go lol. thats why it only went 7.8 in the final.

here are the intervals
1.31 60'
3.30 330'
4.83 660'
161 660' mph
7.24 1320'
209 1320 mph

And the answer is yes we have more power on tap. . The 7.34 pass was actually faster to the 60' and 330'. I belive 1.28 to the 60'. I really had no reason to try and turn it up cause the other guys were having troubles. I knew it would go down every pass on that tune up.

It got the job done, what happened with the Reeper Camaro, seen Rob coast through? Up until that point that bitch was flying also. We had shitty luck, hopefully we will do better here in Houston in November for the NMCA event.

Thumbs up

Hey LME is a competitor to us but that is just simply one awesome deal both engine and car!

Congrats to both LMR and LME for making Texas look so good at the shootout and flat out haulin *** like almost no one has before in an LSx.

209+ mph is incredible and so is the 7.2x on those tires. I'm sure 6s aren't that far off.

Very impressive to say the least!!!
