TIMESLIPS....................

Hey I have been there as far as you getting your car to fly. I never had a dought, if people don't believe it then they can sh!t and fall back in it. Me and Mike Whitefield came to the fact you would see some 5.40's atleast on the new setup at NMRA last fall. I am curious as to how your car scaled with the glass parts you have on it. Did it help you out or was it just to shave weight over all.
Justin Burchman taught me a lot on setting the new stuff up. And I learned that if you strive hard you will be rewarded.

Honestly the car works pretty good, I think the tall gear (4.29) combined with the 1.80 pg and 3000#'s is why the 60' is low, there is still a hint of wheelspin, but overall I have a good handle on it.

The old motor with injection, M5, and a mineshaft air night ran a best of a 5.60 at 122 with a 1.26, it had the 4.86 gear in at the time with the 100" rollout tires., and never repeated the same numbers again period.

The 4.57 gear is in the car now, like said it will be run again a week from tomorrow at the KOV race.

There is only one real doubter, and his beef is this car cant possibly be 3000# w driver. I'll put a cash money bet up if he cares to challenge the claim, my other bathroom can use a remodel so I hope he takes me up on it................

Heck them boys make big Chuck look like average.

And don't you boys forget this either...


Looking good Fabio. Are the tires new or do you just need to tweak the chassis a bit for the new power?

Great #'s Jon.
Loved the sound of the motor in the vids you posted.

way to go Jon! keep them updates coming...

air was pretty bad, barometer was in the shitter.......not sure if it was the air or it dont like the gear swap, did manage a 1.26 60' and a 5.48 @ 126........was down a bit on mph. The shorter gear spinns the pump faster and made the egt's a good bit cooler, played w the highspeed and main pill, ended up throwing more full at it down low and it seemed to lie that. Last run it fell back off to a 5.52 but it was a handfull all the way down the track...........I need to go download the datalogger and look at the tack as I bet its gonna be all lover the place lol.

John the tires were new at the last race, last nights puts 11 runs on them.
