Best Passes for the Duster yet, only change was added mufflers directly to the headers giving some extention... not the best air, MPH was low for me
12.0s all day would of went 11.98 first round if i didnt cut out 5MPH and still lose with my .004 light and .008 break out

Nick, Nice video.
Glad to hear the car is running good. But dude, you need to wear the helmet and seat belt the right way. You might need them sometime and they won't work the way you are wearing them.

thanks bone my dream ride always gets me excited!
Eric that stinks man! I just bought a csr for mine ill have in it in a few weeks.
why is it that i get more negative feedback from posts than positive? i usually strap my helmet but not always just was too excited yesterday, and as for the seat belt as u can see in the first video i was trying to fix it the strap was stuck i couldnt tighten it i got it fixed later on in the day, its a lap belt its basically worthless no matter how ya use it.
And as for the shifting, thats just what a do, no other explanation than that, not sugar not anything just my style.

Things were going just fine, Shallow staging this year no more deep stage so i dont get screwed on getting deep, and so less ppl complain about me double bulbing so i can get in deep to begin with...

Obviously is working fine...4 passes yesterday
1st .014 bulb 2nd .020 bulb 3rd .004 bulb and 4th .012 bulb...so the i think my style is working just fine. as for the safety i got what i got and i sign a waver for a reason. next season i will have a roll bar and new belts, and a new helmet that fits right....till then im ripping at my own risk...
More videos to come of coarse!

Nick, Not trying to be negative, just like seeing you at the track. If you need a better belt, I have an out dated 5 point you can have. I don't think they will tech it that close as your car doesn't call for one yet, and the official you talked to didn't even notice your lid wasn't strapped. PM me if you want that belt. Beep

Program the trans to do the shifting for you at peak power. Cuts the shift 2-3 overlap big time.But was interested in what shifter you were using.

PAUL: it is an old school cheetah, its called a WINTERS SHIFTER. i actually found a few online but they arent exactly like mine, mine is about 15 years old, but it was brand new when i put it in the car 2 years ago. its a reverse pattern same gate pattern as a cheetah. i love it

Nice lights,Nick! Glad you got your safety issues fixed! I have a Winters Sidewinder shifter in my car and love it! No offence intended her but I would like to see you wear a fire jacket. Good luck this year!
