Default Well im happy!! 10.25 @ 134.22!!!

I took the vette out to H.R.P. tonight and ran a new best of 10.25 @134.22 with a 1.48 60'. I only ran the car two times the first pass i had a 1.4x 60' but some one in a truck had oiled down the track and about 70' out I was sideways.Then I made it to the end of the track only to dodge transmission parts laying everywhere[and ran a 10.75].It scared the **** out of me!I still feel the car has a little bit left in it on motor.I only ran the car 2 passes because I had my 3 year old son with me..And he said it was "time to go"..Thanks again Andrew for helping me!!

Yes, John has the fastest allmotor corvette here in Texas hands down. Glad to see your car finally running after two years. All in all thats hauling *** I wish I could get some 60' foot times like that. Congrats I would love to see how my car does against John's from a roll, I dont plan on winning but I just want to know how I hang. Since last time out at the track I found out how hard it is to get in the 1.4's with a 6-speed.
Live it up John thats hauling ***!

Congrats! I helped Chuck figure out a few of the swap details, so naturally I'm very happy to see the results. Great job.

John, tell the truth why you only made 2 passes!!!!They basically told you if you run that speed again that you can escort yourself out of the facilities...You are right there is a 10.0-10.20 in the car if you leave full on the convertor...Great night though

Man John I wish I had your race weight

I'm not sure what exhaust and tires you were running, but some front skinnies, ET Drags and uncapped exhaust and you are there. The MPH shows you have 9s in the bag.

The last one there is a rotten egg!!! LOL. I can't believe I just said that

We have quite a few things in common besides our ETs. Coincidence?............I think not

Good luck man!
