Oldschool,
My father was wondering if you drove it all the way there and back?




Nope, it is about 140 miles from my house, so I trailered it down there.  It looked like about 75% at least were trailered because of the distance involved for us north Georgia folks....

It was the first full 1/4 mile pass.  I have played around on the street and fiddled around on a couple of 1/8 mile tracks, but that was the first pass on a 1/4 mile track for me in over 19 years...      :burnout:   Car ran good and it was fun....    :cheers:

 He ran 3 mph faster.  I ran 135, and he ran 138.  I had plenty o' gear left.  I was 600 rpm short of the shift point when I went through the speed traps.  The faster mph by the Vette is the N2O he was spraying from about the 330' mark the rest of the way down the track.  A 250 shot definitely helps on the big end, but it wasn't enough for him to overcome the big ole All Motor Hemi.......    :2thumbs:

250 Shot... thats retarded!! I hate it when people brag about their times and they used NOS .....

All motor rules.... anyone can throw on a bottle and make HP!

NOS is part time horsepower!
