Trent, it's all my pleasure to have you drive the car. I know you're having as much fun driving as I am just watching. One full pass and you click off a 9.20@157.63mph, that's pretty good in anyones book. Heres the video of your pass. You can see it spinning down low. I spoke with Robert this evening and he's going to be making some updates for us, so we'll see how quickly we can get it back out. Here's the video:
Were you able to get things sorted out?

Wow, It is hard to believe that when I first met you guys you were wringing out the FPGreen and now you are basically making the power to run 8's on a still streetable car.
I will definitely make the trip to Tulsa when you guys get back. I am sure Tony can't wait to get his hands on the car.

A great time today at the track, I should say ANOTHER great time today at the track.
Tom/Tony's car is amazing. Looking at the time slip from the 9.36 pass when the i/c pipe came off I truly believe the car would have run an 8.9x that run. The next run wasn't as quick through the 1/8th mile and ran a 9.20 at 157.6 mph. The boost was only at 40 psi peak right on the 4th gear shift. We were working on dialing in the 2 step to find out what the car wanted on the starting line too. This car, I guarantee everyone, has an 8 second pass in it, no problem.
Unfortunately we have tried quite a few new things on the car and have run into problems that we haven't had to deal with in the past. I BELIEVE that this 9.2 run at 157 makes Tom's car the quickest and fastest EVO9 that is actually still running the MIVEC in it.
If all goes well and I expect it to, the car will be looked at and we'll fix it tomorrow. It is going to be another "weird" problem, we've had a few of those this trip.
As for my car, there will be a new video, new picture, new product release, new times etc. all posted............hopefully tomorrow. We made another 11 passes on it today and left the track with the car completely intact and running strong. New multiple best ET's for the car and multiple best MPH passes for the car.
I'll keep this thread free of that information.
Great job today Tom, Trent, Kevin, Jarrod etc. You have a great attitude Tom, it's a pleasure dealing with you.

The Bad Bish continues to be BAD ***
Amazing that it can continue to make these kind of runs over and over again and still drive home - very impressive
