FINALLY!! Ran the stang at Rockingham Friday night!!
 

Oh my goodness!!! Is all i got to say!! First pass off the trailer 7.20 195!!!!! I about fell out of my rocker on this one. Ok, went back to the pits, checked the plugs, everything looked ok. So I changed my convertor out to a looser one. Second pass, did a HUGE burnout hoping to get the tires a little warmer than previous. Staged, launched, and bam it was on the wheelie bars for the first 60 ft or so, then came down hard and hooked like crazy. End result?? are you ready for this?? 7.15 194mph, mph slowed down by 1 mph but i think that was because of all the time she was in the air :) But needless to say, I am extremely happy with the car. I Can't wait for Maple Grove!!

well thats some great times dude ,keep us updated on it's times and how it's running ....and lord knows be carefull ,your like running some fast numbers , be cautios and make sure your safty crap is in tip top shape...:rolleyes:

hehe..and you drove it to the cruise spot..LMAO. It's not that often you see a lot 7 second car rolling down the street.

I'd just like to hit a 7.15 in the 1/8th!!

:D

Thanks guys, yeah Billy can build some mean motors :) Oldguy, thanks for tellin everyone about the car..I've put it on a chassis dyno before it made over 1,700hp+ to the rear wheels on both stages!! The car weights 2,450 with me in it. It's a tube frame car, built just like a pro stocker. I'll probably run it in about two more weeks just to get it dialed in some more. I think it will go 7 flat at around 200mph when I get the chassis and everything else tuned in right..I"ll let ya know.

Eric

HOLY CRAP! =) Congrats man! That is one amazing ride you got there. I would love to be in a car that fast just to see how it feels. That must be a hell of alot of fun. Keep it up and aim for those 6's. :D

Take it easy,

Hey great runs, are you going to be at the civil wars this weekend the 27-28 at rockingham. just wonder i'll be there.

mike

Hey Mike, I'll be down there, but I'm not taking the car. Maybe, we can set up a meeting place and watch the races together?? Let me know.


Eric

Wow, that's great, especially for right off the trailer!

How were your 60' & 1/8 mile times on those passes?
(I'm guessing the 60ft to be in the 1.1X range.)

What size & brand of tires are on the back? 15x33.5 or 17x34 steamrollers?

Stangrrr, yeah it was a good pass for right off the trailer. My tires are Mickey Thompson ET Drags 33 * 17.0. My sixty foot was a 1.08 on first pass, 1.10 second. Eight mile times were in the 4.6 range.

Eric

Those are excellent 60' & 1/8 mile times! You're right up there with everyone else in the Pro5.0 class!

Thanks Stangrrr. Yeah I think it will be pretty competitive this year. I guess we'll have to wait and see :)

Yeah
