Andrew I understand what you guys are talking about but his runs look like this
10:253@132.06 -1.147
10:304@128.66 -1.096
10.433@111.81 -0.967 on this pass he killed 20mph and still runs basically -1. under I think an extra 100# will be ok.

And this wasn't even the car that ran the -1.20 under.

On the 10:25 run he may have hit the brake at the last second and tripped it with the nose which would explain the quicker et and higher mph. On the 10:30 run he may have lost some in 60' or earlier in the run and ran it out the back door. On the 10:43 run he probably just shut it off before the firts mph clock. Just a thought. By the way, nice job on your Wally win Saturday night "Cooter".

Kris,
For the record I didn't say they won't be OK, but the other 100 LS1 cars that were all probably atleast .15 or more slower than them it makes a big difference. Oh, and I never saw you on a qualifying sheet anywhere, so I would appreciate if you back off your keyboard a little bit. Also, he didn't kill 20 mph on the 43 run because the actual mph would probably be around 128-129 as he went 128 on the 30 pass. Also, Kris it appears he shut off at the 1000ft which usually kills around .13-.15. That's how you kill about 17 mph. However, to kill 17mph by shutting off at the 1000ft and still go -.96 you have to be able to run about -1.09-1.11.

I understand the theory, I'm just not buying it. Do you understand that this was the final round of class eliminations. Jumping on the break pedal in a heads up run doesn't make much sense, its not like he was trying to keep from breaking out. Edmond went red anyway he could have just coasted down the track. In my opinion he made a full pass under power to help him dial for the next round.

No, I did not know the circumstances of those runs. Just thoughts on how it could have played out. I understand your opinion also, but most people don't have to run it out to know where to dial.

I don't run a stocker so don't shoot me for commenting! I know one thing the LS1 cars just slid down the ladder some more to the new cars.

It should be FI, carb, and the new cars in their own classes!
