Did the record fall?

We were told numerous times yesterday that Al was telling people that he was on his way to Atco and our 9.77 record was going to fall. Anyone have any details?

Shep is in a 1st gen DSM, not an EVO.

I don't know if your record is going to fall, but always remember. That records are ment to be broken. You guys are awesome. I called and I talked to you guys and the help that I got from you guys was amazing. I wish you all only the best. Hopefully you guys will get into that 8 sec 1/4 It will be nice to see you guys and AL go for 8 sec mark. Good luck to all you guys

RULES!!!!

I saw in another board that some one in an evo ran a 10.2 twice at Atco. This was posted yesterday on www.svtperformance.com ,but no one has confirmed anything at this point. Who ever ran this has a fast evo and I would like to know the MPH as well.

Unfourtunatly I only ran a 10.3@139. Off the shelf AMS GT35r kit and Exedy triple plate are the only things changed since the 10.92 stock turbo pass. I was plauged with problems ranging from boost control issues(that caused problem #2), fooling with the boost controller on the street trying to get a solid 38psi(profec b issues) caused me to use two gallons of the last four gallons of c-16 I had left, that was two years old.. Then the hillbilly track we were at had some Cam2?? 110 octane fuel that smelled like pump gas, needless to say I had alot of knock and had to run on the safe side. Ran 35 psi with an old MBC off the bottom port of the WG, caused lazy boost response, but who cares, there was no traction anyway, spun in every gear as im just on radial tires. Also it was hot as hell, so I drove 130 mile to some hilljacked track for nothing, all issues should be fixed by Sunday for another shot at a better track.

Curt Brown I know you are a great driver and your standards are much higher than others, so I know 9s are not far off at all .
