Default More pics on the way soon

Pete, great pics, thanks for taking them - and great to see you again. Looking forward to Jerry addin 100hp here too.

My buddy took a bunch of pics, I will post as soon as I get the e-mail. I ran 12.7 with 2.2 60 foot times, can't wait to put some drag radials on and see how we do. I think 11's this spring.

The highlight for me was the rear tires breaking loose at 100mph on the 3-4 shift and drifting over the center line on a scary fishtail on the last 1/3 of the track. I had the run of my life going until that but still finished at 12.8 after I jamed on the breaks and finished at a trap speed of 82MPH. 12.8 @82mph - that would have been a good run, probably 12.0 Who the heck breaks loose on a 3-4 upshift?? Those tires suck and it scared the %^# out of me!
