2:20 in the morning, that's what happens when you go to the finals.........DD strolled through a field of power adder cars, the S10 with the 632 proved to be just a tad too much.

I'll take a runner up in a heads up field full of nitrous cars all day long with my poor little conv headed n/a BBF..............

Car was a rocket all night, I new it had 40's in it...............

Got to meet Dee Stevens, talk about a firecracker...........

No shame in that, getting a runner up in a heads up deal. You gave up quite a few cubes to that guy in the S10. I'm guessing that he wasn't running ProComp heads.

Good deal Jon. Glad to see the 'ol DD callin' down the thunder.

final round

Congrats Jon...

So I take it that meeting the wife was an experience ???? lol

as I was unhooking the trailer she came over and the first words out of her mouth were "they said you were a short little f-cker"..............lol

congratulations man. and your welcome. i smoked the tires against jon in the first round for those that don't know. someone had blown a tran in my lane before i got up there. im not happy with the no times showing deal. fans want to see how fast car are. they also changed drivers against jon after qualifying. good race still.

cool deal... what were the numbers?

Last 2 runs were 5.48 @ 126.84, 60' was 1.28 and 1.29, its not perfect but I'm gaining on it.

The air was cool and dry but the barometer was way low, which seems to effect this car more than anything.

The whole deal with the KOV is no times shown, back in the day you didn't even get a timeslip, which last night you just got your time only. Its got a 5.30 cap on it, so its safe to say most cars will run close to that.

All them MWSC guys up on the starting line were scatterin' after my burnout, with no wind and a KY "liquid torque" M5 tune the fumes were very strong lol. Even my brother got overwhelmed once and had to head for the hills.............

bitchen! i bet it's got 30's in it.

It's there to get, mph is a bit high for the et..........

I have another iron in the fire so to speak, its a longer term project of which I will not elaborate on at this time..................

Did you show her your cape and let her know you're a HeRo ???

Good job Jon!! That dog will hunt!!

Bill

semi round, damn nitrous cars and their "bang buttons"....................

thanks a lot buddy.

Time to dig up the DD thread................

Gonna try to go test Friday, new set of shoes on the back and up to 75#'s of adjustable ballast in the trunk..........be nice to get in some cooler track and sir temps finally as this year has been a bitch as far as the heat goes.

So far its been a real good and stout build, only had to change the oil (green) once this season, no issues what so ever other than the chassis is having some issues lol.
