I normally 60' in the 1.47-1.49 range and this 60' was far from my best, but for some reason it pulled harder than usual and lifted the front tires on this 3,980 lbs. S197 beast of a car.

Ran a great 6.8 @ 100 mph. She's slowly getting dialed in. Love the look on the faces of the trailer guys when I put my street tires back on and drove home with the radio and a/c on...lol

Judging by the times, it looks like you were racing me in the other lane....

I was there last night watching all the S197's run. That other Blue Kenne Bell car was running hard last night too. I think it had BAD05GT on the plate. Anyway great runs last night. I'm hoping to get some drag radial for next week and will be out there too.

I have a 4 speed AOD and a transbrake. I launch off the brake.

That's my good friend, Don Whittaker. Both of our cars are ST Motorsports built. His car is strong too. The one pass we raced each other he killed me off the tree. I ran a 7.0 to his 7.1 but he got the hole shot and won by a fender. I was also only running 92 mph all night and was dropping off at 5K rpm. Changed my plugs and immediately layed down that 6.86 @ 100 mph.

Gotta remember that even if only 1 plug is fouled - you are losing 2 cylinders!?! Good plugs are CRUCIAL to running hard.

I'm there almost every week. Stop by and say hi next time...[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

That would be Don. He bested with a 7.12 last night. Should be running a little better than that but he is in need of a torque converter pretty badly.
