Thumbs up L's at E-town were honkin today!

Well, I got my 1 mph back by bolting on 28" QT Pro's. F those ET Streets! I also ran three times and got 3 new bests!
Best pass was:
60' 1.736
1/4: 12.150 @ 111.13

I was happy to say the least. Heck, I even got a pat on the back from Vinnie.

Don's Bolt was there. I saw two of his passes. The second one was real impressive, but I'll let them post times if they want. Looks like they had some things to sort out early on.

Mike's factory freak ran a 12.63 @ 108.19 with NO Pulley! That truck IS a factory freak.

Trashguy's 5500 pound sled ran a few times. You need to put that thing on a diet!

All in all it was just about a perfect day for racing weather wise, and not a big turnout.

Those Hoosier Quick Time Pros kick major arsh! These times confirm my belief that the ET Streets suck. The best I could muster out of the ET Streets was a 12.27 at 110 with a high 1.8 short time. F them! Time for some

Nice burnouts by the way.

Ya I had a blast at E-town today, it was nice hanging with the Jerey boys.

The truck ran great 11.1 @124 mph we were just trying to learn how the KB effects the trucks tuning. We ran a very rich street program and kept the boost to about 18 #.

Looks like I will be selling the 28 x10-16 slicks pritty soon. The truck is just over powering the tires. On the 11.1 pas we had to baby it out of the starting line and only ran a 1.66 60 foot time. I also have to check out the trans the 1-2 shift is a bit slow and lazy.

I am sure with a little more tuning some 30 inch tall set of slicks, and firming up the 1-2 shift - 10 will be coming pritty soon.

Also I raced at full street weight of 4809 lbs. In full race weight I can get it down to about 4650

Don

I saw the 11.13 pass from the top end of the track near the traps. Your truck sounded awesome. I wish I could have actually met you yesterday, but with so much going on in the JDM camp, I didn't want to bother you guys. You're as close to a 10 as I am to an 11. A few adjustments and we'll both get it

Congrats Paul on that fine run, but I know how it hurts to get that close, and not hitting the 11's

Your on your way and next time out, Iam sure you will hit that magic number
