Well John, how did things go?
Give us some good news, because I'm tired of hearing about how Tony Stewart killed this kid....which was tragic incident.

We did pretty good, got her into the 4.80's twice with a 4.86 and a 4.85, new best 60' with a 1.175, new best MPH 147.8 but only got to the second round and got outran with a 4.79.

Was pretty happy with the car's performance, we made some good gains last weekend!

Wow, that's great
Can't beat those times and that 60'.
Congrats to Team Heard.
Are we going to see 4.6's by the end of this year?

I don't know about 60's, but I think we have a good chance at 70's for sure. The air was really shitty this weekend, 120 water grains, like pea soup outside.

Way to go!!!!!

How much does old blue weigh now with you in her? Mine was at 3656 lbs but should come in right at 3300 lbs with all the work we've put into it.....
And how much n2o are you running?

Scales at the track said 3236 ish, I think it's more like 3250 but I haven't weighed it this year.

Not bad at all..............for a nova!

If "frank" was in a Camaro I could see some 4.50's

More great passes John, CONGRATS!!!! That is a great 60' time. What tire is on Frank? Looks like you have got the chassis figured out for sure. I watched the video you posted and no big wheelies just going forward. Very nice....

Thanks.. We're on the m/t 275 pro

That tire is pretty amazing. Putting that tire on our Nova has totally changed it. The car never ran this hard on the slick and so far, we have not been able to find the limit of how hard we can hit it. We have found what to do to make it do a 200ft wheel stand. LOL We have improved our 60' by a tenth over the slick in just 7 passes.

Wow Ron, that's quite an improvement. Makes me tempted to try them but they look so wrong on a man-sized Chevelle. If I could knock a tenth off my 60', I might have to forget about style points.

Qualifying in the heat is the biggest issue we've had with them. That's normal with a radial though.

Thanks Mike... I did change to some rear Menscer DA Afco's from the old Calvert/Rancho SA shocks so I can't say it is all the tire but so far I'm really impressed. Heck even my wife asked me to explain to her why we have not been using the Pro's before this year. LOL

Beautiful car John, I remember when I finally went a 5.75 with my N/A junk, had a grin on my face for a month...lol

Thanks, yeah new PB are quite a big deal after the struggle to get there.
