Hey, that's my "home track."

Just a quick question, does altitude effect turbos as much as it does Superchargers??

Just curious if a 10.96 could be corrected since he was racing at 3000ft.

And is it just me, or did he start that spin in reverse??
Good gawd I have to keep my eye out for this guy!!! Very nice performance!

OK, I give it marks for originality, creativity, performance #'s, etc. But why chose a Tib?? The appeal towards the style of car isn't really there. Guess it'll be easier to replace the engines when they blow a hole in the ground.
Now, a twin-engine, AWD Lightning would be very cool. Wicked power gains, better traction, weight distibrution, etc.
I've seen and heard of double engine vehicles before, but so far none have been all too appealing to the eye. Numbers were good, but the style and vehicle choice usually sucked ****.

That is unbelievable! Some people have way too much time and $$$.

Marcus, I was wondering the same thing. If that time wasn't corrected, that would be a 10.33 at sea level.

How's your truck running? Did you get it back from the dealer?

Crazy, but that insane doughnut burnout at the end was pretty cool. The car was ugly though Ill admit.

The truck is running pretty good. Just getting a strange noise from the s/c... It's pretty sad that the dealer guys know me by my voice over the phone. It's going back in tomorrow. I'm getting this solved once and for all. I'm in the process of selling all my parts, so I can go with a different setup in a few months when I get more money! I'll keep you posted Jay.

Damn, a 10.3 Tib. That'd be one fun drive, especailly with the all wheel drive (which I'm still waiting on one brave, RICH soul to take his/her Lightning an make it AWD.)

DRAGON! It's aptly named. That's a fire breather if I ever saw one.

HI!... WHITETOAST11 : You should jump the bridge sometime over here to WINDSOR. I'm only like 20 minutes from the brige or tunnel. In about a month from now some of us are planning on going up to ST THOMAS DRAGWAY. It's nicer than MILAN DRAGWAY and you can get 5 times the runs in. They really keep the line moving.
