Billy Mac, it has also been known to make some timming cones a tad nervous also!! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Vic, yeah we have run it that way for a couple of years now. I figure if I hit something that tears it off,,,that will be the least of my worries anyway. :roll: :wink:

Took three hits and some serious changes in what "It SHOULD Like."

The new Nitro Madness is going to be a player!! The laziest weak suck tune-up in the land, resulted in a 4.24 using all the slippery lane available!!

Track temp was 135-degrees,,,and lets play nice and say it was less than good traction available! :roll:

About 1/2 track she started to mutter something to me. I said, "Look here baby, I am driving and IF you think I am taking my foot off your throat until sometime past the finish line,,,you are sadly mistaken. Now get on down thru here and show these people what you are made of!" I guess she believed me, as even though we took up a bunch of track surface, we skated across the finish line without getting any cones. It was nip and tuck for the finish line cones though! :lol:

I didn't think it would be anything too great, probably a 4.55-4.70-ish with all that driving around. I was astounded when I saw the time slip.

Anybody care to guess at the 60-foot on that run???? The normal in the last 2-years was 1.05-1.08, we ended up with a 1.01 and a 1.02 late last year. The third pass on this car it went .996 to the 60-foot timers!!

Yeah, I am pretty pleased with my guys, Scott's fab skills and our new Hot Rod!! 8)

Congrats Randy. Sounds like you'll have a bad hotrod. No mention, so I'll assume the brakes worked fine. 8)

Great news Randy.

BTW: I stopped off at the dealership & talked to Gregg a couple minutes about next weekends MRM @ 66. He asked if that altered I always talk about will be there. I told him, YUP I think so. I told him it would be the caahs first 1/4 mile pass, so who knowz' how it will run? Sounds to me like You'll have some surprises up yer' sleeve. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) :arrow:
