I saw the passes the car made yesterday and it is plain, bad ass!!! I actually went over and drooled over the car in the pits for a while, it is beautiful inside and out... Ya gotta love these cars, his looked the same as the 10-13 second GN's you see rolling around but he went 8's!!! Congrats on the great times, impressive to say the least...
I can't wait to see my buddy John's car make a pass with Cal's "race tune", it's gone 10.40@136 on the street/pump gas/low boost tune so far, so it should roll out pretty good when we turn it up...

Thanks Otto,

It all just came together, I have to thank Ficus for pushing me when he went 172+ I had been fighting trans problems for 3 years . So he said I will send you mine, next thing i know its in front of my garage So I put it in. Bob (RPE) has been playing with cams and nailed it. I put in the custom 47/91 turbo that I purchased early this year we had made some custom compressor wheels. Dusty spected out 1 bad azz converter, I pulled all the ballast weight out, and we headed to Cecil County. 1st pass the car got real loose on the big end I had to lift it went 8.57@148, next pass it went 8.20@172, 3rd pass it tried to take out the 330 clock it almost did.... and the last pass it went 8.17@174 man that chute pulled hard!!!!!!.I have to thank a lot of people first of my Sharan my wife for 3 years she has stood by and supported me thru all the problems and fustrations and MONEY!!!!! For anyone that has never met her her picture is next to the word angel in the dictionary, she completes me. Next Bobby (RPE) I cant even explain the length that Bob has gone to in this project he has researched and developed everything on my and daves motors to be able to make this kind of power with aluminum blocks is a testament to his knowlege from the variable rings to the spec cam you truly are on top of your game in fact your in a whole another park.As far as a friend you truly are one thank you!!. Davey to even care about me when you are going thru what you and Natalie are going thru just shows what kind of person your are. I met you 7 years ago I only wish it 37 years ago you have helped me get where I am today by pushing me ( I just wanted to run 9.40s ) now we are fighting for the 7s thanks for all the pep talks when i was ready to hang it up thanks Bud. Cal your tuning speaks a langauge that only winners know your help has gotten my on that list your friendship is what I value the most you Holly and the kids are truly awsome.I would also like to thank Otto for all the trips down to the shop to help, all the Dyno pulls,we spent lots of time on airplanes this year flying to events thanks man last I would like to mention Lonnie Dude you build 1 bad AZZZZZZ trans my check is in the mail.if I forgot anybody sorry its getting late

When you hang around winners, eventually its rubs off. I am glad to hung in and stuck it through all the bad times when you were going to throw in the towel. True hard work does pay off. Your at a level that very few people are at, and your trials and tribulations encourage others behind you to keep pushing. Its great reading stuff like this because its shows what determination can do if you REALLY want it. Keep up the good work.
