This car went 7.4s @ 188ish last week according to the word on the street. Not sure of the number this weekend.
I will have to call duttweiler and confirm. Cotton was at this same race so maybe he will chime in. What do you run Jack???

John, do you think it's possible they didn't turn the wick up all the way on the dyno?? I would think to run as fast as he's running he would have to be making closer to 1500hp, but then again we don't know how much it weighs..... Either way 188mph is FAST!!!

Anything is possible including Job putting a different set of turbos on the car.

Dayum!!! :eek: Looks like he has his **** in order... Beautiful set-up!

Would love a closer side shot of the car.... also, any idea what size meats those are in the back?
 
Al told me on Sat. at Englishtown that the car made 1500 hp, weighed 2800 lbs with him in it, and had run 188 mph 3 days before, and either that day or the weekend before had run 7.46 or 7.49. He never made a pass on Sat (no mufflers) or Sun (electrical problem and then lots of blue smoke out the exhaust). Jack ran an 8.91 to back up his best so far of 8.90.
 
Never mind that. You can see my car in the background of the first picture. I'm a celebrity. Woohoo!

Just kidding. It is a great car. I just wish I could see it run. I probably would miss it anyways. I ever get to see the good cars run. I'm usually in the pits eating. ;-)

Well sounds like I was right about being closer to 1500hp:D Thanks for the info Carl:) :cool:
 
This past weekend that car went 0.00 @ 000. I wouldn't have seen it run anyway, I was busy winning the GN vs. Mustang shootout.:p
