Thats actually a small mirror. The smiley face is the drivers reflection. But, sh!t, who am I kidding. I would smile like that too behind the wheel of that car.

Did you guys notice the windshield flex? Watch the numbers in the corner of his windshield.

how the hell are you shifting that fast without blowing out a socket in your shoulder

and when can you sell me your tranny so i can have fun,and know my trans will be able to take all the abuse ill give my car

Its Shepherd That is sick....I miss my DSM...thats why I bought the only "suitable" replacement...the Evo. Plan on getting one of those by any chance Shep? The Evo world would be honored. I'm sure you could show the world what that car is capable on the drag strip. AMS just went 9.48@156 with no nitrous and full weight I believe. It would be interesting to see what you could do with one. BTW I take it you went to Lexan...if so how long ago?

Cmon now man, its Shep we're talking about here. He already has an Evo!

Hello. It was a 7.97 @ 179 with still more left in it. Here is an in car video. Be back later, I need some sleep.


7.97 in car

Wow. You deserved to clap at the end of that one.

Also, looks like your getting the launching/clutch setup working pretty well for off the line. Is it good, or is the antilag and other launching features still need some tweeking?

But anyways, congrats. Awesome run. Everytime you make a good run, you say, "she had a little more left in her" So how much more is left????

 

[hindle]

Can a moderator please change the title of this thread so it's more accurate? He never ran a 7.8@182. It was a 7.9@179.

 

[project_tsi]

I changed it.

That is a must, take pride in you accomplishment! Congrats John.

 

[Blk95gs]

Haha that vid gives me chills everytime...it keeps looping on WinAmp and I can't hit stop. Absolutely amazing what you do with that car, makes me wonder how much farther you can take it.

Congrats

 

[BGRIPTP]

I heard he already changed the plates that day.

John, will you be running at the Nopi finals at Norwalk? I heard rumors that you won't becuase of a baby? Either way congrats on the run and the kid.

 

[uni_gst]

Awesome video, its time for a new plate !! And nice claps @ 160mph.

John Shepperd if you are reading this, any updates on visiting PR as it was said on Honda Tech forums ?

 

[BlackAWD]

Thats SOOOOOOOO SICK!!!! Makes me proud to be a DSM owner!!!

[overdoseheroin]

i met him at the dsm shootout. hes a pretty nice dude, granite i was wasted and any normal person would have told me to piss off but he still smiled and shook my hand. i gave congrats then, i give gongrats now. continue the face raping john. haha

 

[MNGSX]

the lexan must have helped a bit...

Maybe go to a progressive N20 system.?
So its actually a 100 shot across the powerband as opposed to just down low...

It looks like he had no problem staying ahead at the short end of the track...

Maybe its time to power down the long end of the track on top of launch perfectly.

the other guys chute wasnt packed properly

[ldstang50]

nice job shep, we knew 7s were coming this year
does anyone have an outside car vid of him besides the one on putfile?

 

[solomontomb]

congrats shep!

 

[notsafeFWD]

As if its not enough that John is setting personal best after personal best, him and his wife just had another kid. John, I'll be by to congraduate you in person when I get a chance. Congrads man.


As for Shep being at Nopi, it's in his race schedule. So unless something drastic comes up, he'll be there racing for points.

He sells the same trans he uses. Congrats on the new baby and the new time Mr. Shepherd. I just had my transmission done by you and it is supposed to be here Monday, I cant wait. Even though it took a little longer than usual I understand the circumstances and since you broke in the 7's I will let it slide. J/k besides I wouldnt let anyone else touch my transmission in my car.
