Jake broke his t-case on the first round. He ended up converting to FWD and Kenny Tran broke when they went to semi finals. So Jake is at the finals VS Brian Jimenez

Congrats to Jake, he placed 2nd, he's quite a fighter didn't give up, only his t-case did.

yep he did, he borrowed my slicks for the front and put some street tires/rims on the back... the look on people's faces was priceless after he did his burnout

Thanks, were you the one with the white MR? Yes the win in Phoenix was a huge accomplishment. My car weighed in at 3100, full power windows/locks/moonroof and I was out classed VS the 2000 lbs full drag civics. With a lot of hard work and determination I pulled off the win. Since then, there has been a complete new build, so with all those changes there's some bugs I have to work out before we can get a clean pass. I'm positive the next time out things will come around for the better

props

I hear ya Dan, No I was the grey mr. I didnt put down any incredible times there. I only had like 250 at the wheels then. I twerked my 6spd there no lift shifting( pulled it into 2nd instead of 4th, newb.lol) Converted to a built 5spd since then and bout 100 more hp, and best time so far is in my sig, still had the 6pd in and i was locked out of 4th everytime. I would love to go back to phoenix and get into the 11'z with the 5spd though. Gongrats again

Comparing the timeslips I would defenitly say you have a high 8 in that thing at that boost level. Good work
