The announcer is funny. He was standing beside the car. He knew I wanted that 5 second run bad. He talked it up the first time when I went a 6.10. I gave it a little more boost and just prayed the tires wouldn't blow off. When it took off and didn't blow off, I knew it was good. There were around 2500-3k people there, it was awesome. Sad the car is going away, but I had to show the new owner what she could do

I hate to say I'm envious of the new owner- I wish it was in my driveway

If you could get it off the line faster, it would be an 8.90 car in a heartbeat. Here are incremental s from my dart; 1.29 60 ft, 3.62 @ 330, 5.59 @ 660, 123.69 mph at he 1/8th, 8.78 at 153 mph @ 1320.
That is one fast Hombre!


8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

The new car I have coming went 5.58 through the 1/8th, but went 8.53 in the 1/4 (on slicks). It was going over 160 at the 1/4. These turbo's just continue to make a ton of power through the rpm range. That's why I believe it could make an 8 second run if I duplicated that 1/8th mile.

At mopars at the rock, I went 6.65 through the 1/8th (it had rained 4 days straight), I let out at 1000' and coasted to a 9.99 at 129mph. It was my first pass at the 1/4 mile and I didn't want to rev it over 6k, so made a safe run. So I was .8 quicker through the 1/8th on this run. It would be very close, but hopefully the new owner will try to push it and see. I just hate driving to rockingham when I have a track 10 minutes from my house
