I'll let Ray post his own, if he chooses. For me, they're already in my sig.

A video of the launch testing over the weekend. The best for the car was obtained on the last pass. I cut it short in the video because my cameraman had trouble zooming in the camera and I didn't want to make people dizzy.

Looks good Don, I have never ventured out to Barona looks like a decent track. Is there any limits on how fast you can run.

You must pull a chute at 130 mph. They've had nostalgia funnies, dragsters, altereds, Pro Mods, and jet cars there. There is no ET and MPH limit as of yet. There are some track records, which people are periodically attempting to break, which I don't know off the top of my head, but there are no limits on the drivers. It's up to the driver to know his limits on stopping distance. The shutdown is 1/4 mile long. If Pro Mods and a jet car can stop, then anything else should be able to with correct brakes and parachutes.

Thanks Donnie and Congrats to you too. Yes, I did get a new best. Managed to get an 7.0 @ 99 mph 60ft was a 1.66 boost was 21-22 psi. Made several passes at 7.1 and 7.2 all at 98mph. Car still has a lot left. Just playing it safe until the fuel system gets up graded. Btw, car is full weight street car with Hotchkis extreme sway bars, rear lca, etc. Lou, you build one beck of an engine, and the transmisson is bullet proof too. Before upping the boost anymore, a power loggers and Wideband along with the fuel system will be up graded. Goal is to run 6.50's with a car that handles too. We shall see! I'm Texting again, pls excuse my misspelled words...lol

Raymond, congrat's car is coming along nicely but you need to step the injectors up to 82 # LS-1 Maf, translator,Correct chip, HR parts sway bar, lower the 60'ft's down a couple tenths more & you should achieve your goals. P.S. fixed your spelling.

Nice runs Ray....all you gotta do is turn up the boost.

Thanks guys. Christmas is just around the corner so up grades will hopefully be under the tree. I also forgot to mention that I had the air bags at 20 and 25 psi on the right side. Next time I will try to lower the 60ft with out the drag bags.
