Well yesterday as I'm sure some know there was supposed to be a track rental down here in Florida at Bradenton Motorsports Park but due to the rainy weather the track rental was canceled by the track owner (a bit too prematurely IMO considering some out that way say it cleared up)..... Anyways there were a good # of Buick guys that already had their cars on the trailers ready to race (including Roy/Laz) so luckily Immokalee Regional Raceway www.immrace.com which happens to be an IHRA 1/8 mile track was open for Bracket Racing as well as TnT and the weather was nice although a bit on the warm side compared to what Bradenton would have been like..
So anyways let me cut to the chase before people reading this thread forget why they opened it in the first place.. Roy's iron headed 109 car which if I'm not mistaken was still in TSM trim like they had it at Reynolds (3400+lbs) ran a new best~ 6.06 @114.53mph!!! :biggrin: I had taken a picture of the timeslip but unfortunately it came out blurry but I think I remember it pretty well..
60'-1.40
330'-392
1/8 ET-6.06
1/8 MPH-114.53
They had run a few other 6.0 passes @113mphnchange (6.09 and a 6.07).. I believe on the 6.07 pass Roy was a little late on the 1-2 shift (can't blame him when you see how hard this car leaves with the front tires in the air) and the motor over reved (7250 RPM)
but the 60' on this pass was a 1.36 and the 330' was a 391 and from what Laz says the 330' indicates that this car easily has a 5.9x pass in it which on iron heads is quite an amazing accomplishment!
In the 1/4 mile at BMP going on what the car ran in the 1/8 I am thinking this car would have run a 9.5x @142nchange...
It's also important to note that this was only Laz's second time out the new XFI FAST system
