Amazing! Thanks for taking the time to post all these great videos.

Nice work Chad...

It was cool to see him hit 8.11, to be there for the first 7 pass must've been landmark.

 

[TSIMonsteR]

Holy crap! Nice job dude!

 

[SBstar]

Great video (or should I say videos). Congrats again to Kevin!

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Outstanding job to Kevin! The car is a beast and those wheelies are crazy!

 

[LandSpeed-DSM]

It's just so non-dramatic about the whole thing, too. Except for hanging the front wheels till 100ft out..

 

[Kevin Jewer]

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to try it again Wednesday, but it looks like rain so far.

[HIGHPSI4]

[Doubleot]

[rrussell]

Nice work my friend, nice work!!!

 

[ArcticTsi]

Congrats! What a milestone!

Engine bay looks incredible.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Chasing some shep right there for sure!

I'm a weeeeee bit sad it's not AWD, but i know rwd hooks better in drag.

I wanna see some 190mph passes! im surprised devin hasnt hit a 7 yet, isnt he trapping a few mph more?

Then again, it's probably the rwd/auto thing.

 

[Kevin Jewer]

Thanks guys. Devin has indeed gone 177 or so. The auto eats up the mph, even in AWD /FWD form. I do have a slight 60 foot advantage (Bush, Devin, Kiggly(!), etc, have been pretty close), but the real advantage is simply driveline strength. Now the disadvantage seems to be these damned wheelies.

 

[wdbagger]

Still, it's quite the achievement. Congrats.

 

[MY1GDSM]

Time to start shifting that weight forward. Must mean your gonna have to start getting that beer belly formed real soon.

 

[Kevin Jewer]

I'm a fat #### lately and still can't keep the front down. I have so much weight on the nose now, I'm not sure how much more I can move. Last time I checked it, out of 2400 lbs, 1400 was on the front axle, 1000 on the rear. That was a while ago. I did move the battery from the passenger floor back to the hatch, but that was mostly because it just takes up too much room and makes it hard to work on the car. I also moved the fuel cell/pump/etc from the hatch to the engine bay.

The weather seems to be clearing up for tomorrow, I might take it back out again and try some things.

 

[1qkfwd]

Lets hope it stays clear enough to get some runs in.

Whats your rear suspension like?? Looks like its time for wheelie bars.
