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.

Nice article.
When we talked before I thought you were running a FWD. Thats why I thought it would never be competitive in the class. If I was 10 years younger (and $20,000 richer) I'd turn my motor around and run SS/FS. If I go over 125 MPH I have to be in a commercial jet. LOL
Your car really is impressive. I never thought a 4 cylinder would run with the V6 buick.
If you work on the first 330' It will fly.
But you have to get to a points meet or another race and lower your average. You already have tripped the trigger to get your index hit. You are in complete control of it. You don't want to wind up like Scott Kelly. He has a great car but a stupid fast index.

They are 26 x 10's this is what he put on yellowbullet:

"The neat thing about the car is it is on 26" tires, the car is a 100% stock chassis car, not mini tubbed or back halved, no wheelie bars, no wing all stock body, exterior, interior, etc....."
