EDIT
Lutz ran a 6.89 at 168 mph with the chutes out
Bailey ran a 6.52 at 226 mph
That's insane. Cubic $$$$$.

That sucks!! He just bought a rotating assembly from me and got the engine together in a very short period of time, just for Drag Week. Hope everyone is ok.

I was suprized that I hear he was running a 59* block,
I thought he was running a 48* last year with the W-9s..
also heard he couldnt run in the SB class... too many
cubes.. I hear that 425 or 427 is the max for the SB class..
he had a rough way to go this year... BUMMER

Elvis ran 8.81 
Did he ever get the EFI on it? I saw some FB updates that he was converting it over.
Yes. A friend of mine told me that they look like LS1 TBs.

Bailey is always on borrowed time w/that car!! Jeff tried to run it a cpl years ago & it was a mess then. Hope he can keep his car together & make some more good #'s. Lutz all the way hopefully this year. Guy works hard & plays even harder. Lots of jealous people out there talk junk here on the internet. If they even had a clue or knew the man/family they would think & talk a different tune.
See ya, Ken Michalik
That car has been totally redone since Jeff tried to run it for Terzich. New motor, new wiring, new system. It was pretty trouble free last year and had a 6.70 average for the week. I would hardly call that borrowed time. The issue this year is just parts failure. It cracked a head through the bolt hole and into combustion chamber. No way to weld it. I left before they found the issue with block, but it is probably a cracked main web. That car still has a cast block and heads.........time for billet......LOL!!!
They are not really leaning on it at only 30lbs of boost. With a billet block, heads and 50lbs of boost, it would be much faster.
Jeff pushed a head gasket today. They fixed it and made a couple more passes. Saw them on the side of the road though and it was running hot. He thinks the pushed gasket may have collapsed radiator inside. Not sure what they were going to do.
As of 6:30pm Larson had NOT left Topeka........so not sure what issues they were having

Hopefully I can see some video coverage of the car actually run and not go off of hear say.. I'll be interested to see what It does with some more passes and better air. Plus a good hooking track always helps. Will see If he can run any quicker then last years best of 8.58 @ 159 mph. I don't think he will beat last years average of 8.68 et.
Not sure it qualifies as hear say, since I was standing there watching the car run, saw it strike the tires and also saw the time slip.........but ok.
Last years air was much better when the car ran that number. Weather so far has been soup and there was a SERIOUS headwind today at Topeka. Had the same tune in the Vette today that I had yesterday and it slowed from 193 and change to 189... Forecast calls for cooler toward end of week.
