Happy Birthday Mr. Art 9.60@143 Paltz

[TurboDiverArt]

Thanks everyone!!

Thanks for all the well wishes. All I can say is that FUR has been very good to my on my birthday. Last year at this same event (again on my B-Day) I made my first two 9-second passes in FUR. Then exactly a year later she rewards me with two 9.6-second passes. The one bummer for the day was that “Unkie” wasn’t there to “See the FUR Fly” in person but I’m sure word has gotten to him by now... It's a shame the weather was a little hotter that anticipated. Car was really running on a string. Short times were off a little, had they been their normal 1.42's I would have had a high 9.5. Oh well, track is open 4 times a week and the weather is only getting cooler. I'll wait my turn and then maybe turn it up again one of these days. Until then the car is back to running 9.8's at 20 psi.

Again, thanks for the B-Day wishes and it was really great seeing you guys! Was quite a day!

Thanks. You got it. Just line up against me next time and I promise I'll foul out by a bunch. The first time I tried to help you by breaking out but you broke out by more than me!! Hey, I gave your wife almost a 2 second head start! You guys are great! See you at the track.

I guess this means that your claim to fame of having the fastest street driven TR in Central NJ just got a little stronger

Not just street driven but the official holder of the Central Jersey Turbo Regal ET Title which we all know encompasses the counties of Middlesex and Monmouth and the towns of Kennilworth and Basking Ridge... I know with some tuning I'm going to have some competition from Richie once we get the programming all figured out. The difference is that Richie's will to push his car to 28 psi or so off the trailer and I don't like to push my motor past 21 psi. Something tells me I’m going to have turn the wick up a little when the weather gets a little colder.

Happy Belated Birthday Art. I guess you applied for your ARRP card this week

I'm sure with a little more tweaking you can get the 60' down and gain some better E/T's.

Congratulations on your title of fastest street driven GN up that way. I guess having access to the Jack makes this possible.

Good Luck

Nice pictures of the Car Art. Sorry for the comment about the ARRP card, I guess you already had one by the looks of the pictures hehehe.

I had to look twice, almost though that was Rich standing by the car. I guess you two are soul brothers :0

Thanks for posting the photos
