Finally a 9 sec. pass

[vegaken]

Finally got my car in the 9's . Went to island on the 17th and went 10.01 @138mph. New best for the car. Then I went to Atco on the 21st and made a few changes to the car. First pass was not bad as the car went 135mph still no 9 second pass though. Finally we took some timing out of the motor and the car responded very well. The track was kind of slimey as the car did not 60 foot very well it was in the 1.4's. It did make up some time after half track. So for the night the car ended up going 9.98 et @ 138.44mph. I just want to thank Bobby Bammann, ESP198 and 1Qwikbird for there help getting the car back together.
Now I think it is time to put some gear back in the car and get it to trap at more than 6600rpm.

Thanks guys. I just bought some new ET Streets for running the 10.0 index at Atco. Just finish the year trying to be consistent and getting some seat time. Then next year the motor is getting redone for some more power. Still have to be N/A though. Going to head up to island this weekend on Sunday weather is supposed to be nice instead of the 90+ like the last time there. Like to get an idea of how the track is going to be for Aug 12th

I went to Island this weekend and ran a 9.89 @ 137mph. The track was in good shape as there were a lot of big tire slick cars there Sunday. I went a best all around except for mph. 60ft. it went 1.35 at half track the car went 6.2 @ 110mph and 9.893 @137mph. Only made one run that day as the tranny had no reverse after that. Came home took it apart and found the reverse idler sub assembly was broke. So thanks to 1Qwikbird and ESP198 the car was apart that night. I got the parts coming in today to put it back together to run 10.0 at Atco Thursday night.
Here is a link to watch the car run my first 9 second pass
