Took a knife to a gunfight............

runnered up, cant complain considering this was a heads up class and the car I pulled in the final was a freaking promod deal lol.

Car flat ran pissed off all night, got faster every pass, in the final it went a 5.60 @122.........1.26 60'..............nice wheelie for a change lol. Put the 4.86 gear back in, made no other changes except for tire pressure. Finally got this thing sorted out.

I'll get the vid up in the morning, its damn near 3 in the morning and I'm smoked right now..............


Who's the bad motherf-cker now...................

semi's


finals

Good deal you got that thing flyin

It liked the gear change UH!!!!!!!

Sounds good!!

"W"heelies are great!!

Bill

congrats Jon on the nice pass ......

Congrats Jon. That thing's scootin'.









Doug...

Cool deal thats how you get it done...... One day i need to pick you brain about meth...

I had eyes on you Wyatt was there and called me said you had it screaming I probally knew it almost as soon as you did. He was excited when he saw you car.He was on his way to come see you when he hung up. He was impressed!!!!!

So now that your test n tune for the Bash is over when can we expect you in Owensboro?


Looks good. Was that right lane messed up? Looks like it was driving to the right after the launch...

he didnt have you covered by much ............ nice !!!

Yes Jon, you are ONE BAD AZZ MOFO!! Bruno can you run a 5'60 or better?? I would pay to watch yall race each other...DanO will get the winner

The way they run the deal..........its an outlaw doorslammer class. They qualify 8 cars, must be 5.80 or faster. Any cars that dont make the top 8 they run an alternate class. They only need 4 to field the alt class, first round looser still gets in the money. More or less we we were testing and getting paid to do it lol. They guy i pulled in the final could not get down the track in qualifying. He let out on that pass, the car has run well in the 4's.......big inch bowtie with big chief heads, 3 foggers.

All the runs it was picking up 60', my second qualifying pass I had a Snake moment and had to pedal it.

Air was pretty good, not mineshaft but still not bad. Pretty cool out, everyone was in jackets and such. This track works ok, looking at the vids it still needs some chassis sorting, it does seem to jump to the right a bit.

Winter plans besides a freshen up for the motor is to get a narrower housing, I can fit a 12.2 x 31.25W under it, the tire I have under it now is a non W, the W has 1.5" more tread width per tire.

looks good Jon


Randy

Lookin like them A+ know it all racer skills are paying off.

cant be helped...............


Best part is when I'd fire it up to go in the waterbox, there is a big crown with these deals, and they all like to be down there right in the action..............M5 was on crowd control strong................send um runnin' for the hills with their face buried in their shirt...........like that helps..............freakin' awesome...............

Nice runs Jon, I gotta . Does the Fuel burn your eyes while your in the car?

Car is sealed real good, fine unless you open the door lol.

I did have an issue at the ET shack, pulled up and opened the door, had it running on M5 and about had to bail, switched it back over on the Primer Plus real fast and got through it. Lesson learned, have it on the gas when the door is open.

I gotta get the headlights hooked back up, all those promod cars on the side of the return road waitin on a tow back are hard to see down there.............

How do you switch it back to gas? And don't you have to worry about detonation if you change it over to gas in the return lane? Or do you have a water injection system setup on it also? I don't know what the heck your doing to get that thing going so dang fast. Your crazy!

Looks Good Jon. Hope to see you soon.

Kerry

Alcohol tears my A$$ up every pass. I cannot get my car sealed to save my A$$. I have to open my door at the stripe just to get a breath. I'm glad it only lasts 6 seconds or I would be screwed.

Kerry

Do you have turnouts Kerry? Next time I build headers they are comin out the fenders lol. I pretty much sealed the thing up good enough it will float on a lake............but the exhaust needs to turn out from under the car. If your getting fumes in do not try M5..........stuff takes no prisoners...........kinda like the fragrence myself.


I have a spray bar I stuck in the spacer, is sprays gas up on the bottom of the throttle body, you cut the fuel to the injection and hit a switch....has a small pump and solenoid to put gas to the bar. Just for idling, no throttle, lets you run the thing on gas around the pits...........keeps heat in the motor........pretty slick deal.



Wife got a bit spooked.....she always watches from the stands........she took that first video and got to see it wiggle around from behind, makes for an interesting ride to say the least.

Jon,

Nice 1/8 mile times should run well into the 8.70's in the 1/4 mile.Tell the guys that think it's a BBC engine it wouldn't be nearly as fast if it was.

Later Mark.

I thought that was the 1/4 mile? I can never tell from the burnout box. That's why I was in aw when you said 5.60 seconds. HOLY CRAP!!!! That's faster than prostock.

I want to get a video like that but at Milan they move the cars way too fast. Don't even get to watch it all, by the time your passing the finish line the next round is starting to stage.

Fabio might be fast, but he ain't that fast... yet!

It wont get through the 1/4 with the gear thats in it, its setup for the 1/8th...............take full advantage. Though I could shut it off at the 1000 mark and still coast to a 8.99 lol.
