Finally in the 9's!!

We were able to squeeze out a 9.9 @ 144mph a couple of weekends ago at the TX2K11 event. Racing heads up in the street class comprised of 25+ vehicles ranging from 1000+ hp domestics to monster imports we placed 3rd. We were excited about that.

Vehicle weighed in @ 3400 lbs with driver. Passes were made on Hoosier DR's and the BBS SE wheels. Pass was also made with the stock driveshaft, as we broke our 2-piece unit the day before off the launch. This was the cleanest pass but still fell out of boost quite a bit on the 1-2 shift. All day we were achieving 110-112mph in the 1/8th, on this pass we managed 106mph only.

Here's a link to the video shot from the stands.
