Default Couple of pics at the track last Saturday

Took the ketchup car to the track for only the second time on slicks/skinnies and ran a 10.50, 10.46, and a 10.45 after a fumbling around in the 11's.




Best 60' was 1.44s, and my best mph was 137.

I'm finally getting comfortable behind the wheel and look forward to whittling down the ET. Hopefully, I can make it into the 9's; however, it'll require much better driving on my part.

I believe Holeshot Productions took vids of the event and will post them once some other projects are off their plate.

I'm gonna try and be in Dallas the weekend of 4/24, 5/22, or 5/29.

Thats right, showing the Florida love. So you run a 1/4 mi faster that I do in the 1/8th mile. LOL. BTW I love your tag!

Pretty much... The car was setup around 850whp, but my driving killed the ET and mph. I struggled with the 1-2 shift all night by either hitting the rev limit or short shifting it.

Thanks! However, I was humbled when I clicked the link to your car. I had no idea it had progressed so far. Unbelieveable work! Let me congratulate you... Nicely done!

Thanks! I change setups to frequently anymore, lol, but seems to be running pretty good now. Just finished up the Dry Sump setup before the TX2k10 meet but haven't had a chance to run it again.
