Tried again today , Still no luck...But I did go 123 m.p.h

I ran the same set-up as JDM day and gave it one more shot. I ran the Lightning class and had to dial in @ 12.00. I ran a 11.09 @ 123 mph. Needless to say I broke out a little HEHEHE.

My 60 ft. was a 1.66. Needless to say I cannot hook my QTPs.

I will give this set-up one more try @ Cecil an the 8th.

I would really like to run a 10 on 16 inch wheels and QTPs w/ a 3 inch upper and a 6# lower.

We will see.

VINNIE

Great run Vinnie!!!! Englishtown is not the best for hooking. You should see better times @ Cecil. When you are ready for tires and the line lock, let me know!

I knew you would try it again
4 runs = (4) 11.0's, you cant ask for more consistancy than that.
Put some miles on the New Motor, then I'm sure you and JDM
will step it up a bit and go get MANY 10's

For now, you are the 11.0 KING,
AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD, WE ALL ARE

Rob... me you... I can't wait to finish up my truck and be ready for the 8lber and 125 shot of juice. Got my fuel pumps in, now I need a couple gauges to monitor the truck, waiting on an alcohol kit, and get it all tuned up, and im ready to go!

Great times vinnie I knew i should have video taped your run today when i saw you didn't have the bed full of anything and everything to weigh the truck down to try and slow it down to run 12's like yesterday and then had a 12.00 dialed in to come soooo close to getting a 10 second pass

One more try is most likely all you will get, so make the best of it.



GOOD LUCK

Pete's didn't go until quite some amounts of boost, so I think ill be just fine... but then again... well... ya never know... with what ive seen, I wouldn't be suprised. But don't worry, your time will come when your infamous 6lb pulley tuned truck will be sitting with 3 broken rods...
