had never run 1/4 with alky so we had some problems with une up. we did on the third pass leave rattle the tires, lifted got back on it and then lifted the head still coasted to a 6.78 @ 184 so we are close but not close enough

So how fast do you think it will run if tuned correctly??? Im trying to figure out if you could keep up with me

, or if I could keep up with you

Maybe we will find out someday

That was still a very impressive pass, even more so since its a hot-air setup!
Imagine what you'd have with an IC of some sort on there with more boost and alky.
Love'd the car, it made my entire trip!

He was talking about when they ran gas, they were running 100% methanol at BG. That car made my trip as well and I found out they live less than an hour from me. Hope to see it run at the local tracks when they get it back together.

I wish everone would of had name tags on so I would of known who was who.

Hey Cal, With a little help , I can beat that!!!

You Florida guys and "TRANSPLANTS" arent the only 6 second car out there. I better get to work on my junk!!! Mike

I'll help you anyway I can! Get that thing back together and maybe I'll see you at BPG? I heard that there were 2 dragsters going to be there.

Is one yours?

Didn't know that, he was all suited up checking over things in front of the staging area when I was looking at and didn't want to bother him while he was preping. Still 100% meth with those 2 little turbos compared to what you see in the door slammer cars' setups was incredible...no huge uppipe, no huge turbos, the setup seemed small setting in that dragster compared to the door slammers and still ran incredible times even with the problems he had.

Yeah name tags with our screen names would be a great idea next time!

Cal, If that SLED is coming to the BPG I might just bring my junk!!! Maybe the 2 dragsters you heard about are a rematch from BG??? Maybe this time he can stay together long enough to beat that nail head.

If I do come to the BPG I could use some tuning assistance!!! Mike

Im not sure that heat shielding on the side of my car would be necessary!!!
I guess if you did a burn out first , I might need it. Other than that , I dont see you catching me until were in the shutdown area!!!

You rednecks tried to invade Yankee country about 150 years ago!!! That one didnt work out to well for ya either.
