Running the 93 tonight again...

I think the car might have more in it, it only had 10 minute cool down when it ran that 14.7. Unfortunately, once it cooled down for 30 minutes so did the tires and I spun badly, my other 2 runs I did 2.6-2.7 60 foot times but the motor felt like it pulled harder. So I think it will do a 14.6 with 180 degree water temp and a good launch...

I think my next project will be a Gen I :)

Thats pretty amazing how fast those are bone stock...

Stop picking on people Tommy... 4000 drag passes are unfair! :D
 
I think I have over 1000 passes for sure and i'm only 25...
 
i stopped counting at 5000 passes, and have 2-3 seasons of timeslips that didnt get counted, two shoeboxes full that i got since the three week counting of timeslips took place.

if you get to 5K passes i might go count the rest of my slips, lemme know when you get close
 
Has anyone ever recorded a faster time than 14.6 for a BONE STOCK Mark VIII? I'm gonna try to break the record...
 
I never heard one run in the .50's

most were in the .64-69 range that were stone stock fast

if you ran a .59 it'd be a bench mark, dunno if I'd call it a "record"
 
Mine was 14.651 at 97.21 with a 310 pound me at the time. Someone weighing 150-170 should have been able to easily crack the 14.50's.
 
Theoretically yeah... now get a driver and prove it!

And just DAMN tommy...

They need to name the lane after you... or at least the tree

What were the track conditions that day? I'm more impressed with the 97MPH than the 14.6... 97MPH your car has A LOT more power than a typical stock Mark VIII...

well after I won the first championship, in 2005.
For the 2006 season they didn't charge me any entry fee or for tech cards.
Well I won the 2006 seaon as well and they didn't charge me for the 2007 season.

So basicly, other than fuel.. I got to race for two years for free!
