Congrats Tony!!!! Raising the bar even higher for a DR Buick Keep in mind there was a car at Orlando that ran 8.40's (orange Foxbody Stang) and made it to the semi's in DR so that tells me your car could definitely be competitive and just think what could be done if you were given a weight break like the N20 SB's get (3100lbs minimum weight)... Awesome job!

Otto, PM sent!

John,

The boost on that pass was 29-30 lbs.the weight is 3540, the 60ft was 1.47. it ran 138.3 in the 1/8 but around 1100 ft it layed down, we lost a cylinder.on the Racepac, it showed cylinder #2 egt spiked and it took out the head gasket. The injecter looks to be bad. We were hoping to end the year with a 170 mph, but it will have to wait till next year

Sorry to hear about the head gasket Tony, but glad it was nothing too serious... I guess you know what your New Year's resolution is now... 170 MPH! :biggrin:
