When Pigs Fly!!!

Remember this date everyone......

Some day when your all old (like me) you'll remember the day that Harold actually ran his car at the track

Congrats to Mr. Kevin on his new personal best out at Irwindale today

22 lbs of boost
91 Octane & Methanol
1.69 60 ft
7.07 seconds
99.78 mph

Get your 60 ft times down to the 1.5's and you have a high 6 second run just waiting to jump out at you

Congrats to Sod for a great build up on the motor....

If you beat my 6.66 seconds at 106 mph I WILL have to come out of retirement and whoop up on your A$$...

Later

Ray

Question Reply

Did anyone actually witness this miracle & if so who drove it. I don't believe a damn thing that's connected with Harold.

I was also there to watch it, heck it even felt as if i was driving the car myself., that is one damnnn beautiful GN and you can tell he takes pride in it, I think with a little more practice and a low 1.5 sixty the car will go 6.80's all day long, oh and this was only done on 21psi not 22psi with plenty left in the alky pump gas tune, damn that SOD guy knows how to built a motor, wicked said next time out he will bring out the C16 power juice and turn it up to 27psi to see what that baby can do I forsee a 6.50 1/8 and a 10.60 or mid 10.50's 1/4 mile in his future..

LOL, I know what your refering to nordy, . and i wouldn't doubt it if it happens, maybe then he can put a 9sec lic plate on his car for sure or just steal Underboost and have a 9sec 1/4 mile time slip to back it up.

Saw you at the track today kicking tires, you should off gotten into one of those minis that you were eyeballing so much it would fit you perfect , if i remember the barracuda ran 7.528 at 88.8 to wicked 7.074 at 99.78, looks like the cuda needs to find a better tuner becuz it ran slow, you should sent him Harold way to tune his car or he be better off finding another tuner. .

2.2 reaction times don't win races retard... 3rd person went out the door huh?? BTW, You wouldn't understand the ingenuity that goes into a honda swapped mini. I'm sure if it wasn't a "bolt in" or built by someone else you'd have to revert to your Stars Wars action figures so you'd have something else to stick up your a$$
