That 7.3 pass was gonna be that 6 sec pass if it stayed straight. It came out very hard and was on a mission. I can't believe how many passes they took that weekend and damage. That is the beauty of having a great tune. Simply amazing. Thats history right thur.

Big Congrats to Len Freeman and his crew.

Did anybody get a video of Len's 7.06 pass??? (1st round of Q16 elimin)

Len almost lost it just past the finish line. Len's car got sideways and danced around until he pulled the chutes.

I was in the left lane for this pass. I took the stripe, we both broke out, but Len broke out bigger than I did. It felt good to beat the "Fastest Buick" on the planet.

I almost had video of the 6.98 pass.......operator error on a new camera, duh.

That's my car.

I ran a best of 9.89 off the footbrake. 10psi launch and only 20psi down the track. Every time I used the T-brake It went on the bumper............I think I solved my traction issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the chutes were the problem! i thought it was the cross wind untill it did it again on the last run. the right chute is ripped. the first time had a 9.5 pucker factor!

I just got back from picking up lunch and was eating it in the stands, i was like holy crap did you see that!
Then every pass afterwards i had the video tape all ready to go but Dave cooled it on the transbrake launch Lol.
Anyhow, good thing there was no damage and i don't blame you for cooling it!
Nice meeting you Dave, by the way!
