Made a 8.14@89MPH pass, an 8.17@87MPH pass, I was upping the boost as I went, started at 4lbs and finished at 10Lbs, I mostly ran pro drag cars cause thats all that was pulling beside me, Until this Twin Turbo Vette decided he wanted some, I figured I would scare him a bit so I pulled a Pro Stock Burnout through the lights :} HAHA Gotta love a big burnout. This Guy is running the rear Turbo setup with Auto trans, Not sure if he had slicks or Radials. I was running 8 inch slicks in the back at the time, With radials on the front, Mistake... SO we line up, I cut a .003 light, to his .224 light ,1.67 60' to his 2.02 60' and at half track, I was fucked I was way out of the groove and it decided to take a hard left, So I pedaled it through the lights sideways, ran a 8.10@91, to his 8.43@96. I won by a car topend, My Dad said I had him by 3 cars till I decided to Drift!!! The track was getting moister on it and those 8 inch slicks were not cutting it. Top end it was getting crazy with me, As I parked my car the guy in the vette passed and gave me a thumbs up!!!! I think I might of scared him a little bit with my Drift!!!! HAHA.... But I like cool guys that can respect a fast import that own domestic, There all cool cars in there own way. I own both.

By the end of the night my best pass was 7.80 @ 91MPH, I was satisfied.

hey bro you run in crossville don't you? nice times by the way, last time i was at crossville all i could manage was an 8.7 at 86mph but the track sucked and i was spinning into third.

Ya I run crossville, I think I have seen you run there, It seems like they only prep the starting line, Top end really sucks if your putting down any power at all. That Corvette almost shit when I nearly took out the center barrel lol, Last time I was there I launched too hard and broke both axles off the starting line, LOL my bad. Ill be back out next year, Track rules if you run 7.50 or faster you gotta have a cage, So im in the process of getting one built cause im going to crush at E:T next year hopefully.

nice I will see you there hopefully with a set of drag radials. maybe i won't grenade my 10 bolt lol.

HAHA Ya the best of luck, There was an orange Ws6 up there a few weeks back that hit the guard rail on top end, a truck was leaking tranny fluid and he got in some of it. Car was running good too. 7.80's, He put a nice scrape all down the drivers side, Felt bad for the guy.

Just let me know when you go and will meet up there.
