After 8 years of making changes after changes I finally reached my 8 second goal!!

On Saturday I went to Milan and had 4 consecutive 8 second passes:

1st Pass: 8.8413 @ 151.91
2nd Pass: 8.8031 @ 152.38
3rd Pass: 8.8299 @ 153.11
4th Pass:8.8450 @ 152.70

I was really hoping for a .70, but the last 2 passes the car was really spinning the tires on the gear change which killed some ET. The track really seemed to go away later in the day as the temp dropped.

I will post some video of the runs once I get them down loaded.

Scott

All four 60s were between 1.286 and 1.298. All were low 5.60s @ 123-125 to the 1/8. Don't remember the 330s off the top of my head.

These were all done NA, with stock suspension on a 9x29 radial slick @ 3500 lbs.

Never race against your engine builder. A guaranteed 2nd place at best!
