New Drag Radial Record

Looks like we found second gear last night..... Or at least enough to set Mobile Dragways new DR Record. The old record was set by Tommy Brewer of Spanish Fort (one of our team members) with an ET of 5.36 Last night we raised the bar to a 5.33
Never thought it would be this fast. Gotta love those big blocks..

awesome...

im not trying to start anything but here in nc we have some 'real street' cars that come to the track on certain fridays...they run 5.60's or so but their mph is usually 125+ compared to you guys 115ish... i was maybe wondering if its just the difference in tracks or maybe your track is a little shorter, which would explain the couple of tenths quicker and several mph slower...

again, not saying anything bad just wondering...

Some guys just get off the line better. Thats what its all about. Those 125mph cars may not be getting 1.3 60fts or hooking up as well as this car.

Not sure exactly what the MPH was on this pass, I was offshore when the team broke that record. We ran it this weekend and it was running in the 122ish range.
