I agree and the racers pitted next to us said having hp is a good problem to have now make it hook and hang on...........I really think I need to get to Famoso real soon or at years end where the bite and air are great.

Glad you got some passes in.

Hey Dom sorry to hear the track was loose for you guys. Sunday for the summit race it would take your shoes off early in the day, then got a little loose later. I had a good day http://www.irwindalespeedway.com/#

Time for some game planning for traction! Good results IMHO though. I can see it running somewhere around 6.10 in good air with bite.

Your mph indicates that you picked up quite a bit.
It's got 9.60's in it. .

That is quite impressive for your combination.




IMO with tires he runs and the 60s he used to have indicates why his MPH is up.

Sledgie, are you saying slipping a little at the line helped his mph maybe? Im confused. Id say almost 2 mph improvement in the 1/8th has to be more than that to it.

Sledgie in his weird little way has issues w/me maybe a bit jeolous cos my baby motor hauls ass............it`s all good just wait and see how well it runs on May 3rd at Famoso when I get my 9.5? I love it................lets party.

Yes, it was very light. He had a lot of work cutting, fabbing, and welding. He posted pictures on the Slant board. It's pretty much junk.

Tony, it's a bad deal for Mark for sure.

Thankxxx guys................I finally have a bit more power than before and now I really need to focus on hooking which even on a bad night, NEVER spun this bad. That does give me hope Sledgie and it was still lean which makes me think I either need to install my stub stack or drill some holes in the back of my scoop. I noticed some guys had drilled theres and after every pass or street romp,there`s fuel splash in the venturies which clogs up my hi speed bleeds. Make sense?
