Fastest Pump Gas / Alky Car...?

[RUQWKNF]

Just wanted to post an update about John Crawford and his GN.

Looks like he went to the track again this past weekend.
Didn't have to make too many changes, except for his new time that is.


9.96 @ 139.8

Congrats John!!

Excellent run, especially considering you're still foot braking the car. I knew you'd get your 9 second pass.
Good job sir. That PT6776RS really rocks!

That 9.9x pass was inevitable as the car went 10.08@138.xx, and 10.01@138.xx as well.

Those are the best that I can recall.

The weather was good (about 23 degC, so high 60's? with low humidity) and the track was ok.

Finally... the bar has been moved. Congrats to John...

9's on pump gas and stock ecm..

Not sure how much help it will be. Our track is pretty "gully" and the 1/8th MPH hasn't worked all year.

BTW, Jack Cotton came up for a visit and he can vouch for the track and John's slip......it was car # 4881

[Russ Merritt]

I wasn't doubting you Mike. I just like checkin out the slip see where your gettin it done and where your not..... I know everytime we run, we're asked to show the slip. Keeps the good faith... We don't mind.....

1.44 60' is pretty good, I figured at 139 the ET woulda been better.... Like a high/mid 9.80 or something..... We haven't run a 9 yet so we don't know. We have the HP, not the 60' but we're workin on it.

You don't need a voucher, I believe your cars performance with what your runnin. Very believable.

Russ,

Sorry if my words came across as slightly defensive. I guess with these boards, the words are subject to interpretation. I am sure if we were having this conversation over beers, we'd be having a few laughs mixed in there too.......

Let us know if you see anything out of the ordinary. Without the 1/8th MPH its hard to guess if the car is falling flat at the top and/or the bottom.

The 60' is good, and the ET's look OK......

To be honest, I think the car may be nearing the end. That 109 with the 206 cam has very little left on the table........Although I said that when the car went 137 too..........

Hey Russ, don't mind Mike..... he's been a little edgy since we left the track. We were accused of several things by the locals there including using something other than a 109...... Some of them need to make it to BG and see how far 109's have really came. Dan and I would be considered slowwww!!

[Russ Merritt]

Don't let em get to ya....... You guys are kickin ass!!

Congratulations John that is an amazing et and mph. When my brother Frank called me at work to tell me about your new record, I was amazed. Don't worry about what people say, they are just jealous they can't get their combo to work as great as yours with a 109 block and stock ecu. John do you have a girdle or billet main caps on your 109 block? I wish I could of been there to see your pass, I will be going back to the track soon, I hope you and Mike will be there because I like talking to you guys and seeing your cars run.

Yep, he sure was flyin, it was a beautiful day in Canada, my first trip up there in 20 plus years. A big congrats John again, especially after makin 2 passes with the Pumpkin, I can appreciate your efforts.... the track was pretty loose for me, I parked it and worked with my customer the rest of the day. It just amazes me what a good built RPE engiine can do, Both yours and Brians motor were built short blocks by Bobby with out of the box Champion alum heads, you running almost 140mph and Brian running 137mph the first time out is just amazing... You have a beautiful car there, keep up the good work, Bobby will be happy to hear the news... It was good meeting all of you guys and I look forward to another trip up there soon.

Don't start accusing people when your were not there. The person who mentioned something to John told me that he made a mistake. But I am not worried for his Car as he will blow us all away when he gets to the track.

Good Job John. I enjoyed seeing your Car leaving the Line..
