Nice passes! So...you are going for your 9-second license when you are already DEEP 9's! Were you guys running alot of 9's before and simply didn't have a license?

I really need to go auto....

Good luck with the rest of the season, and with meeting your goals!

More or less . We are planning on going faster this season though and didnt want the license to be an issue with the tracks. We are looking to take the overall IFO points championship again for the 3rd time and dont want anything messing that up that we can prevent.

Yeah, you don't need safety logistics causing problems. Get the car fully to spec for 8.49's-slower with close detail to current NHRA handbook rules for cagework.

I finally have my car all ready to be compliant for 8.49's-slower, but I need to do the licensing and cage certification still. It really hasn't been an issue for me because I have only done high-9's in the car so far on low boost. I have been dealing with different little bugs causing slow-downs along the way in moving the car forward to faster ET's.

The car is haulin! I look forward to seeing what yours can do on KILL MODE!

Looking good! Whats your guys best 60ft? Looking forward to the real post went it goes 8.x!

 

[okcpopeman]

The wheels are Weld Draglites 15x8. The tires are Hoosier 26x8.5x15 full slicks. They come closer than we liked so we are raising the car a little before the next race.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

8's are coming soon for sure! The car is amazing as always and these autos are kicking ass and making it look easy. Good luck my friend!
