Just thought I'd share my new best times, I'm pretty happy today. Went to NED yesterday, second time out with my new combo and made 3 passes, rain shortened day.......
First pass out of the trrailer and right to the starting line, after tech, street tires, 17lbs of boost, easy launch 9.80@139, had to lift after the launch and get it going straight again, :cool:
Back to the pits, put the 3 year old slicks on, turn up the boost to 21-22lbs. Bang..... 9.30@145.72, 1.41 60f Next pass, changed the plugs, left everything else the same, 1.39 60ft, hung onto 2nd gear too long, until it fell on it's face, then shifted 3rd and got a little squirrelly, 9.29@145.52mph. The goal was a .20, I'm there without having to put it on kill. I still jhave more tweaking to do, get some new slicks and I think I can cut at least a 10th or more off my time and not raise the boost. My next goal is to reach a 9.teen at the same boost level. By the way conditions at the track, weatherwise were not exactly ideal, around 75, cloudy, rained early and th clouds were waiting to burst. I think some better airwould have maybe given me a little better time.

A NE Cal Hartline....street driven 8 second car. Way to go Jack!
 
Congrats Jack! You aren't too far from the 8's...... Just curious though on how much the Pumpkin weighs with you in it?? Please let me know:) :cool:
 
Hey Jack.................

Since I am not spending all my spare $$$ on beer anymore, how much for a motor like that to put in mine:) :D :eek:
 
Very nice Jack... I'm sure you changed your mind about selling it. :D
 
Hey Congratulations Jack!

Heheheh I know, I know just a little bit more......well maybe a little more :D

Speed is the only cure for fastites hehehe

Again Congratilations
 
Thanks Guys,

Feels good to put down a number that you know is possible, just a matter of everything coming together. The goal is to someday run an 8. but that is something the car will do when it's ready. I don't plan on pushing it, I just want to race, be competitive and make a LOT of passes. I had the little monster on my shoulder telling me to turn up the boost, waaay up, but then I reached in my pocket , there wasn't anything there, just pocket change. So I reminded myself of the possible consequences of making the BONZI run.

As for the weight of the car, Da Pumpkin weighs in at 3400lbs and yes, it is the orange car on my website. Is it for sale? reluctantly, I say yes, if the price is right......
 
Woof!!!!! Congrats Jack..........when you mounting the chute??.....lol.


Congrats again!!
 
Jack good job! you sure that thing weighs 3400??? time for YOU not the car to go on a diet!! congrats, now for a feature in a magazine.
 
:D congratulations on the time Jack:cool: slowly sneeking up on it, you'll be there before you know it. Take care Jr.
 
Many congrats on the run Jack...

Way to go Jack. Maybe you'll break into the 8s if you stop putting Armor All on the tires before the run!!!! :eek:

Seriously, that's a fantastic job. You deserve it!

Are you gonna be in e-town in August so I can see this land rocket in person?
