Lethal Performance BOSS Runs a 10.31@132.41 at Mustang Week!
‪Lethal Performance 2012 Boss 302 runs 10.31 @ 132.41 at Mustang Week 2011‬‏ - YouTube
Mustang Week 2011 was a huge success for Team Lethal. When we arrived at Darlington Dragway with Team UPR early Thrusday we were joined by the crew from Monster Energy and Steve Turner from 5.0 Mustang Magazine shortly after. We prepped the car and blessed it with some fresh decals from UPR and Monster Energy & Mcleod and we were ready to rock. This was the 3rd time our Boss had ever seen the 1/4 mile strip. The conditions were definitely less than favorable with scorching heat. None the less our hired gun Jeremy Martorella from UPR Products lined up the Boss for it's first run of the day. Unfortunately it didn't make it out of the burnout box. Not once, not twice but 3 times our intake tube popped off. A little embarrassing to say the least especially as this was a big event with lots of people watching and our first time in front of the Monster Energy crew. However we know from experience this stuff happens when racing and we kept our heads up high.
With a little customization by Jeremy and Mark from UPR the intake pipe wasn't going anywhere. We hit the burnout box again and this time actually made it to the starting line. There were lots of cheers and clapping from those in the crowd as they were also just as happy as we were that we made it past the water box.
Jeremy launched the car and we made our first full pass with a 10.40 something trapping close to 135mph. Our nest run yielded us the best ET of the day with a 10.31@132.41 which is the quickest anyone has been in a 2012 Boss. The MPH on this run was low due to Jeremy needing to shift into 5th gear right at the end of the track. There were also a few small things we need to work out with the car which we took care of once we got back home. We know that once back at Palm Beach International Raceway we should see better times as it was just too hot to see the performance we expect from the car. We'll be out again tomorrow so be sure to keep posted on our progress.
In the end we were stoked to have been able to run the car at Mustang Week in front of all of our customers/fans.
We want to thank everyone for all of their support. Jeremy Martorella, UPR Products, Steve Turner, 5.0 Mustang Magazine, Monster Energy (Rob, Stuart, Scott, Eldina) , Jon Lund, JLT Performance, Crew@ Mustang Week, Mcleod Racing, Bogart Racing Wheels, SCT , StacyStangz for the awesome pics, all of our fans and supporters and especially Christy for putting together such an awesome video!!!
