How fast could you go?

If you have a 360" DP, and are three tenths slower than me, on all four barrels, you are seriously doing something wrong! LOL

Guys that know what they are doing, and are trying, are way faster than I.
They are, however, doing the smart thing, and trying to protect their average.

Btw, I was not originally trying to make this another hp factor dispute. I was just trying to razz Jeff a little. We joke about each other's hp numbers.

Since when is NOT spending money doing something wrong? I'm quite aware of the potential of these engines. I still have a pickup (219,000 miles) and an open trailer, too. I read on other threads people talking about $30,000 engines. You could build my entire car from scratch for that. It's not because it wouldn't be nice to have bigger, better, nicer things. I choose to be able to afford to race all year instead, and to invest in promoting an event for everyone else.

But yes, there's a number of things I've done wrong, on top of all that.

about three tenths slower than a drag pack on the brakes.just saying but it is true.

Too cold to hook up. Rubber would be like ice...slick, hard with these temps.

In those temps I'd probably hit the wall.

Don't you almost do that in optimum conditions? Just kiddin, your car is an absolute amazement to me....stopped by your trailer at the Gators but could tell you were in no mood for light conversation....saw later why that was. Would love to see you run 7.80's.

I opened myself up for that one….haha. It usually doesn't almost hit the wall, but it's a normal occasion that I use a good portion of the track. Kind of comes with the territory of a 26x10" tire, 94.5" wheelbase, 1200hp car.

Thanks, unfortunately the Gators turned into just a test session for us, so we were all kind of in a bad mood that race as it's not how we wanted to start out the season. Usually we are all very approachable, so you definitely caught us at a bad time.

Michael, what NHRA class do you run?

Mr. Ed,

Michael runs GT/HA.
