9.43 et and 157.50mph First Real passes on new build

Well we hit the limit on the stock dsm ignition coils As soon as i would boost to 50psi we would break up. We have a M&W box on the way which should cure our miss.

There was no track prep at all so 1 st gear would blow all 4 loose which would kill my 1/8th mile et. but we got some good logs and should be well into the 8s and 160mph with a good track
Will get vids and slips soon

You should definitely try to attend the Shootout make-up on October 13th...it would be nice to see someone besides Buschur and AMS running some nice numbers at the track.

I lined up against a old muscle car(Dodge Dart) and we take off, well at the top of 4th gear about 150mph i hit a orange cone and it nails the 11sec Dart. It just hits his tire no big deal. The guy gets behind me in the pits and just lets lose on me. Wont stop about the cone and i say im sorry several times. I tell him that i told the tower that i wanted to run a single but they didn't do that. He goes on about control of the vehicle and how he ran 11.7 and had to hit the brakes cause he was going to fast

I walk away and give the guy the finger...man they guys women just lets loose on all of us the Grandma,Mom,and Him all gets got in everyones face.

I think next time im going to run with my wing on just to **** him off


You know the more i think about it i ran a 9.4 et he should have seen the cone sitting there for some time
