I just got back from the track.. The cars were flying out there.
First off, enough of the BS about Lane's car being "illegal". Give the guy credit. Dave D doesn't have to win it every time and I am sure he would agree. The car passed tech. He ran 9's. He has the Top ET, MPH and 60'. End of story. Special mention to the engine builder, Tony Bischoff (BES). They did their homework and it showed.
I may be biased, but the Cook kids running consistent 10.70's and 10.80's with the A12 cars was something to watch.
Seeing James go 10.81 at a ridiculous 129 MPH was something. He is running a Liberty geared 833 with a $250.00 Centerforce dual friction clutch. It's the most "vanilla" of all of the FAST builds I have done and the basic engine package has been together now for 5 years and has countless passes on it. Been freshened a few times, but that's it-still has all of it's original bearings. 3,850# with NO trick parts.
