Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed
316D Carey Bales 391 Irvin Johns
E1 ****WINNER**** 0.107 7.923 174.39 No Time
SS/DX Dial: 7.91 (+/-): 0.013 GT/CA Dial: 9.42 (+/-): 90.579
Qualified: #10 8.005 -1.045 #21 9.394 -1.006

Johns' car rolled through the beams before the tree came down. Bales then ran the quickest run in Super Stock at this event and probably the quickest ever.

How fast did John G go in his Buick?? Also the AM car went seven something. Tom

If I remember correctly, John Gallina's best was a 7.96. A couple of years ago, at the Dutch Classic, Scott Gove's SS/AM, if I remember correctly, ran a 7.93.

Thanks guys!

Here is a video of the 7.92 pass.

Also, it appears that Lewis Bloom "stat guy" confirmed that this pass was indeed the quickest in Super Stock history. Pretty cool!!!

Totally impressive! You make running a turbo car look easy. I'm just curious as to the drivetrain you're using. Since Honda uses great engineering to make their parts super light, I wouldn't think they would have the strength to do what you're asking of them. And, if it's not a trade secret, what size slicks are you running?

I'll bet it even has Honda rod journals! And all aluminum body panels!

I thought that was an S2000. That is a bitchin' car!

How many rpm's in the lights? Motorcycle technology.

If he had one of those sweet clutches, he would probably be in the 5's

Thanks for all the kind words.

It's been fun (and frustrating at times) getting this thing dialed throughout the season. But it's going right down broadway now.

I can't thank Mike Roth (MR2PERFORMANCE) and Devin Pearce (AEM Electronics) enough. Without these 2 guys the car wouldn't make the power that it does, nor would it be able to get down the track.

Here is a neat article on dragzine about the car.
