Ran a new best last nite

#1 Post by silvanova » Sat Aug 28, 2010 3:29 pm

Well after about a year and a half of electrical problems and everything else you could imagine we finally got it down the track last nite. First pass right out of the trailer was a 5.40@139. Next pass out played with the progressive a little and wow 5.35@140. I couldn't believe it after all we been through with this thing. Now we can tune on it and hopefully go a little faster. Hopefully we can get it running teens so we can got to 0rtc for x275 in october.

Thanks John. I need to get this pig lighter this winter (3522). And your right we need to get the 60ft down to about a 1.25 or so and get more aggressive with the nitrous

I missed that weight earlier, that's probably what's hurting the ET. Need to put her on a diet...

There's a wild street race at Beech Bend on Nov. 6th. You'd run pretty well I think.
