Hey TANER, We got ya, 11.22 @ 118

Hey Taner, our goal was to beat you on horsepower, we had some crappy air but the car ran great. Best of the night was 11.22 @ 118 with a 1.45 60ft

You know a guy is fast when people shoot for your times on motor when you have a motor built for nitrous . You da man taner! And congrats on the 11.2's guys who made thread.

Dunno about the beat him on hp thing though...nitrous hp apparently isn't the same as regular hp or what?

I know Taner is the man, and damn can he drive. It just gives me something to work for and try to beat if you know what I mean. Were installing a direct port through out the week and were going to try and catch him on the gun this time Hey Taner, if you see this can you give me your number because I wanted to ask you some questions about your set up

It is funny as I was away racing this past weekend, and I came back to see this post, after a friend alerted me of it. Way to go on the new times! Just curious what is your race weight? Mine is 3500 #’s with me in of course.

Well I put decent pass of 9.88 @ 139.77mph, on a horrible 1.48 60’, man was I pissed. I qualified 4th in the quick 16, and then proceeded to forget to arm the n2o in the first round of eliminations. Doh!!! Oh well. The kicker is that I could’ve made it to the semis before bowing out.

Going to St.Thomas this weekend I plan on emptying a few more bottles. That motor thing may have to wait till next spring at this point as the season winds up. I mean there is still some time left but it is going fast.

let me get htis right... u want to go faster than me and then you ask for tips

11.01 @ 123.19mph, 1.52 60' beat that

11.080 @123.69mph, and another 11.087 @ 122.60mph

first round of elims i broke the adjuster on the torque arm, unfortunately the 28" et drag became a 28" et street....... the rear axle shifted on me and well i am sure you can figure out the rest.
i'll have it fixed up soon enough!

thanks to Roman, Rob, and Steve for all of help today oh and of course the wife

no spray today my electric fuel pump took a dump last week, so we swapped all of the plugs, in like 20 minutes

lmao @ kev!!!
