Well we made it back from Maryland International Raceway at 3 AM this morning after doing some testing over the weekend. Here's a few spy shots that were taken from up in the stands. Our best pass on all motor was a 9.88 @ 137 w/1.39 60' . Our last pass we made we put in the 200 pills in the plate and took out 8 degrees of timing, the car hooked hard and managed 1.33 60' but took a hard right immediately, I got out of it for a split second to get it going straight again and ended up with a 152 mph pass w/1.33 60'. Got the car back to the trailer and discovered we had broken a heim joint on the drivers side ladder bar up front. Needless to say the car was sitting about 2" lower on the passenger side after that pass. Oh well we'll tear it apart and rebuild it and get out going again here soon. The last picture is the one where it broke the heim joint and if ya look you can see the car squating to the right.

Congrat's 152 ought to be what an 8.80 or something close? Glad to hear losing the heim didn't result in a wreck or something. Good time to replace all of them!
