60-130 and 1/4 Mile Event - November 21, 2009
#181
Really pissed I couldn't run today. Finally replaced my faulty boost solenoid on Friday to find out it wasn't even the solenoid. It appears the controller itself is bad. Running 60-130 at .7 bar didn't seem worth it.
Peter I was so pissed when you called I wanted to be out there badly!!

Awesome numbers guys. Congrats to Bob again damn that power glide is insane. Peter, you hit the same 1/4 mile of my old set up congrats but with a 1mph slower. I see from the 60ft and 1/8 mile e.t. you used the LC I drove one of those before at the 1/4 mile track. If you did not use the LC then my hat is off to you. Art

I'll upload tomorrow. Good times, your car is great from a dig. I hope next time, both lanes are prepped. Nice hazzards BTW, bastard!

Todd - LOL you my boy, it's all good...but I sure would like to see ol' Godzilla layin' the smack down!
Art - yup, you are right, LC2 was used, but it only stalled to 2,400 rpm or so.....later I found out that if you cycle the throttle you actually get to above 3,000 rpm on the launch!!!! I wish I would have known that! Oh well, all I wanted was a 10, and I got it...
Props to John Hennessey and Lonestar for the sick prep....and of course, Bob Helms...what else can be said. His run was at 18 psi, he has another 6-8 psi left, I'm thinkin LOW 3's are possible with that car.

All I can say to you Peter is an amazing run and amazing car. No matter what I did to that GTR I could not break into 10's. By looking at the whole number from your slip it all shows how quick the car is from a dig.
