Congrat's Don Erwin!! Broke Track Record at Ozark yesterday!

#1 Post by John_Heard » Sun Apr 05, 2009 10:06 am

Don (Pegasus) ran a 4.79@154 yesterday resetting the Ozark Raceway Park Track Record!!!

He also got to the finals but unfortunately the car dead hooked and he put it on the bumper again, Doc Mustang's team took the win.

Way to go Don!! It was good to see ya yesterday..

Thanks for the tips reading the plugs John.
The 1.19 to the 60 helped on the record run. :D

Sam's wagon was impressive - I heard a lot of people say how much they liked it... And 6.01 out of a little small block with some squeeze! Cool! That sucker's going to be in the fives real soon once he gets the converter tweaked! Also good to see 8secpumpgas at Ozark - too bad it deadhooked on Chris and he had to lift..

Congratulations to Don on the new record. Any hints on what the car might have weighed at the time of the record-breaking run? :scratch: Also, congrats to Sam on getting the ultra-cool wagon out to play. 8-) I'm sure the crowd loved the car.

Of course it's at legal weight. Hard not to make legal weight when there's no legal weight. :lol: Good job anyway Don. That's impressive even in a lightweight car. You comin' to MAKO this season?

Mike I dont want to sound like A smarta$$. My car is light. It does right now have all stock glass and the windows do roll up and down. The cage is NHRA cert. This car to run MAKO would have to add 500 lb and I run 2 carbs.
I do plan on running a smallblock in MAKO.
