Where are the other 46 ?? 2008

[7820]

I can't remember the exact ET but John Calvert ran one with a MPH of 138 this past weekend at Fontana. It was 10.??

Our car is running late with the shipping company so I don't know if we will get it for Pomona. Calvert, Waldo,Stinnet and Ronzello are all driving cars owned by Brent Hajek. These cars are going to take some getting used to. There is a learning curve just like everything else.

If, and when, they get these cars to hook; a speed of 138 would conservatively indicate 9.60s and optimistically 9.50s. All reports have mentioned that the cars are still having traction problems; at Pomona we probably will not get a true indication of their potential.

Was that with, or without your air horn in the air filter?

It could have been. I was having a conversation with the announcer and looked up and saw a white Mustang and what I thought was John driving it. My confusion....sorry.

Have to agree with Bruce, you won't know much till after Gainsville or Belle Rose.

138 MPH is a common run and there has been plenty of testing on these CJ 'Stangs here in Arizona. 131 MPH is indicitive of a lifted run.
And as I've said before, 138 MPH is on the street fuel tune and high water temps. Somebody will let their ego go out of check and run 142+ by the end of the year and traction will not be an issue either. I expect a 9.38 @ 142. Now I expect there is some mandate on FORD not to do this so it may be in testing only.
That's my prediction and I'm sticking to it!

Hmmm, I'll have to save that Jeff.

I just love the intrigue that these Cobra Jets have brought to this site. Just popped the corn and now enjoying a Bud Light. I'm ready for the next episode.
