8.8 @ 165 2G AWD Gas record

Ok, so yesterday was a good day. I took first place for Fastest Car at the NC/SC Shootout. And I also got a new personal best and a little Record under the belt. The car has a lot more left in it. My 60 ft wasn't that great and I actually hit boost cut right around the 1/8th mile.

I honestly think the car will go 8.4's or 8.3's as it sits. Just tweaking the tune and suspension.



This is gonna seem cheesy, but I have to do a thank you list for all the people that have stuck with me through all the troubles and kept pushing me to do better.



Doug @ Topspeed - he's the first person to get my car running back in '05 when I built my motor and had just installed AEM in my driveway in (ghetto)Riverdale. This man drove to my house from (not Ghetto)Alpharetta, not knowing who I was, and got my **** running. It's been a great partnership ever since. BIG Thanks for all you've done for me and for making the trek out to NC with me yesterday (on your daughter's bday no less) and sprinkling the Topspeed fairy dust on the tune to make it happen.



Colleen - for putting up with me and staying with me. And being a very supportive girlfriend. You are too good to me and I couldn't do it without you.



Kevin Kiggly - For all the advise and random phone calls you would take from me when I couldn't figure something out. You've been a great help!



Dustin S (Creekside Boys): Dude, you've been one of the biggest supporters for me and a truly great friend. Thank you so much for helping me with ideas, building ****, borrowing **** (your tires just went 8's homie lol), fixing ****, etc...Your car WILL be a priority this next season and you WILL be beside me at the track next season!!!



Ron Shearer - you're my boy and you've helped me out several times and you are also a great supporter and a good friend. it means a lot when you come all the way down from Ohio, just to watch me break, and then still associate yourself with me the next day! Thanx brother!



Turbo Dave - for keeping me safe with the new cage. We will be doing a lot more business together. GOt some good ideas for the winter.



Everyone at GADSM & NABR who's watched me go from a broken car for many years to where I'm at today and always stood behind me.





If I left anyone out, please don't take it personal. I will come back and edit it. I'm a bit loopy from lack of sleep over this past weekend.





So, here's the video and some pics....enjoy

I will post up all the pics from the whole event once Colleen uplaods them to kodak gallery

Congrats. car was truly amazing, glad you can make it.

Doug is a great guy, he was the original tuner of our shop car "NC Black Beast" over three years ago.

Awesome results on that 2G!

Congrats!
