Thanks Indy. Sorry guys that was my best
It was a depressing night for me I feel a 9 in her but tonight wasnt the night at dragway 42.
I will keep working on it though... I am NOT a quiter. I know at a better track 9's will be there. I am in to deep to give up now, even though I wanted to drive the car into a wall tonight.
I have alot of things I am happy and thankful for...
1: Buschur builds a bad azz reliable street/race cars
2: Tech support from Buschur is outstanding... they know what works and what doesnt
3: I still get over 30mpg
4: My friendship with all the Buschur guys is priceless
I drove up to Buschurs and Dave and I alinged the car and corner scaled it. She is heavy
Dave I wanna say thank you so very much for everything. The car drives so freakin straight it is rediculous I will get that 9... BELIVE IT
Indy thanks for the springs bro! Between your springs and Daves alingement this car has NEVER left so nice. Its amazing what nice suspenion is like
Ran 7 passes tonight 1 run Trent did.
1 run was slow.... 10.9 at 141.
Run 2 was a 10.21 at 143.
3rd was a 10.26 at 143
4th was the best 10.06 at 143
5th was 10.20 at 145 (Trent Driving)
On the last 2 passes I had wheel spin so bad in 1st I missed 2nd twice. As the night went on track conditions went to hell.

Wow congrats. Was this on pump and what were your 60 ft.s for the last 2 runs? Are you also running one of Indy's Launch controller's on the car? Hope you got vids of the runs. I know you can get it in the 9's

Great talking with you this morning Pete, glad you are having fun with the family. Sounds like your going to have a little racer on your hands. Anything I can do to help your son out you let me know. Your still a class act and the NY Bad Bish is still the GOLD standard for the ultimate street car build. Deep 9's on pump no problem with that ride. I wish you all the best. Your Friend, Jim

u2slo, nice to see you are around here again! Miss the car yet?
I hope all is going really well for you.
Jeff, thanks for all the positive things you had to say about me/us. I really appreciate it. I know you were disapointed buddy. It's amazing how .06 hundreths of a second can completely ruin "your life". I've been there many times just like you. It's amazing when I take a step back and think about something that small having such a large effect on my mood how nuts it really is. When my car isn't right, nothing is right, kind of dumb.
D42 is not a very good track to try to set a record at. The track prep consists of a mop, a broom and some traction compound once or twice a night. Your car will go 9's just like it is at Norwalk, I am sure of it.
Jeff's car is heavy. I was actually very surprised at how heavy it is. The car empty was 3055 pounds. Jeff I am guessing is around 200 pounds. To put this into perspective the car was also driven 2.5 hours to our shop, 45 minutes from our shop to the track, 2.5 hours back home. Didn't change tires, just put in some race gas and changed the map.
Not to go to off course but I think the bar may have been raised to high at this point. A year ago if we were discussing this everyone (including Jeff) would be so freaking amazed and happy by this. Yesterday morning I tuned a car at the shop that made about 520 whp on 93 octane.........the customer told me it wasn't good enough. A year ago it was a record on pump gas that nobody would have even believed.
Sorry, back on topic. You are a great guy Jeff, I really like hanging out with you, the car is awesome and well taken care of. Don't let .06 seconds get you down. Running 9's at 3255 pounds on a radial and driving it everywhere is tough, how many others have even gone 10.0's? Not many on a radial.
Next time, you can use my tires and get this over and done with. Unless you want to stay stubborn and insist it is done on a radial.
One more thing. A few of these passes were MY FAULT. I wanted to change something in Jeff's map which left him down on power two or three of those runs. I ended up putting his original map back in the car. My guess is if I had left the experimenting for the dyno he'd have had enough good runs to have gotten his 9, Jeff, you can freaking drive!
