My buddy MikeCotten tried a new intake manifold at Las Vegas, and he is now running quicker than he ran here at home. Dang, he's going to make me spend more money!

Atta boy Mike!!

I think the fastest SS/IA car is in a garage in Louisville,Ky and its not a Mopar it's a Corvette. And it has` already proven that

Irv...that is one fine corvette.

I beg to differ there Irv! There's one there that's just as fast as the one in KY and there's one parked in NY that's even faster!!!

Nitro Joe Jackson · 11-08-2008, 08:21 PM

Here is top 5 in my stats in SS/IA, numbers dont lie
SS/IA ...11.00... 9.713 ...-1.287 ...1043 ...Angelo Ditocco... 98 Firebird ... Q... D1-4 LEBANON V
SS/IA ...11.00 ...9.746 ...-1.254... 3012 ...Jeremy Duncan... 98 Firebird ...Q ...D3-3 JOLIET
SS/IA... 11.00... 9.747 ...-1.253... 7980 ...Steve Wann... 69 Barracuda ... RD 1 ...D7-5 SONOMA
SS/IA ...11.00... 9.772 ...-1.228 ...1748 ...Byron Worner ...96 Camaro...Q...D1-7 Atco
SS/IA ...11.00... 9.788... -1.212... 2077... Rick Brewer... 67 Corvette... Q.... D2-6 REYNOLDS

But these are real numbers, not by under the index deal where running at alt adjusted index tracks wouldnt come into play.

Nitro Joe Jackson · 11-08-2008, 08:26 PM

speaking of Vegas, anybody see that AA/AM Comp roadster run under 1 second under in Comp, 6.068-225 mph, wow, he can see green and use some index to win the event if he wants to.

This was the comment on DRC after the first session:
CP

Left Lane: Charles Watson Jr. Runs 8.887/152.00/-0.553, Now #16; F/SM Index: 9.44, Prior Best: 8.857/152.19/-0.583, Was #16

Right Lane: Jirka Kaplan Runs 6.683/160.98/-0.447, Now #1; AA/AM Index: 7.13, Prior Best: 6.127/223.65/-1.003, Was #1

Kaplan's plan is to run in the fives at Pomona next week! Not this time though! A little too much power off the line and the Ford moves towards the wall. He double pumps and finishes the run. Check out the ET to MPH differences!
