The first pass got my attention. I estimate the boost was 30-35# I wasn't used to the car & after the burn out there was so much smoke inside I could hardly see the track. I had to lift twice & ran 6.02 @ 119. One of the turbos
seals went out to add to the smoke & confusion. Second pass I turned the boost down & then was able to get down the track but still skateing at the other end, I never knew that 5,6 seconds could feel so long. Any way the car has alot left in it & guessing the next time out to run about a 5,20 @ 132. Right now I want no part of running the 1/4 yet till we get all the issues figured out.

Was that with your twin turbo setup on your website?
You know, if my dad went that fast doing anything I think he would have a heat attack!

Nice going, Pops.
Just be carefull. I heard that going that fast can sling the Armor-All right off your tires . Let us know next time your running that thing. I'll try and go. I've been meaning to run my 72 VW bus. It's 25s capable ya know .
