Great pics - congrats on the PB!What an awesome weekend at Marion County Raceway! So Friday evening I took the car out to make the first pull on the new clutch before loading it into the trailer and wa bam...shredded 3rd gear . I figured I was out for the weekend until Mike at Buschur saved the freaking day! He immediately texted me and said those 4 special words: come grab the dogbox. Meanwhile Chance, Donnie and Alex were at my house from New York and Indiana so we drove out to Mikes house to grab the trans. By the time we finished it was 2:00 am but so worth it! Couple hours of sleep later we were up and at it at 7:00 getting loaded up and ready to roll! First pass off the trailer made no boost at all...I dont know if it was the beer or the fact it was a late night but we definitely forgot to tighten a t bolt clamp haha! All weekend was a battle of launching, it would either bog or do a 4 wheel smoke rolling burnout so it took some time to get the launch figured out somewhat..never really even got a good 60' all weekend - 1.53-1.59 all weekend.
first full pass 9.67 at 161! .05 off from a PB. Next pass 9.53 at 162 BOOM PB! We turned it up to about 57 psi and went 9.37 at 166! This would be the final pass of the night. The next day was eliminations and in the pro class was just me and Justin Del Col's black low 9 second evo. The finals race went something like this: I launched and broke a rear axle so I pulled over to make sure nothing was leaking, he launched and the car shut down on him he managed to get it started back up and won the race haha! So after that we agreed to re run them again for fun. Got the axle replaced and lined back up with Justin, I had a .1 second better reaction time and finished .1 seconds before him. It was door to door the entire track was such an awesome race. This was a new PB for both of us I went 9.14 at 162 and Justin went 9.10 at 160. Unfortunately all day we were driving into a 20 mph head wind so it slowed every one down. We turned it up to 60 psi and went the best of the weekend 9.10 at 163!!! So stinkin close! Another goal of mine was to get a 5 second 1/8 mile and that was also painfully close, best of 6.07 at 126!
Sorry for the long post enjoy some pics, videos coming shortly

So to explain the tape, my lack of headlight in the driver side was lifting the hood and bending the upper core support. It bent about 1/2"!! So we decided to be safe than sorry and voila haha. The nirtous was for Ryans white auto 2g which wasn't Cooperating right so we used it as a pre run intercooler sprayer

How do you like the dog box?
Let’s see some sponsors!
Also I take it the Athena/L19 combo is a winner?
YessirHey curious. Are you on boost by gear?
Wow, talking in the 3rd person. That last drag pass must have gone to your headmake the trip over to Mikes house

the black car is rotted to hell and back. I will be racing the black car until this red car(wont be red much longer) is done and ready to take its place. Sadly the black car will just be going to get junked - its bad . All of my go fast parts are going on the red car with the only difference of it will be on Fueltech 550 vs ECMlink. I'll be staying on ECMlink on the black car just to try to get that 8 sec ECMlink slip. Plus the obvious, the red car will be much safer and lighter as every piece of tubing on the car is chromoly whereas the black car its all mild steel.What's the plan for the red car as opposed to the black car?
