^ She sure is

Here is my 8.77 pass from this past Tuesday night. I posted my new thread in here in the drag racing section but thought I would post the link on YouTube in here as well. Also, below is one of my favorite pics of the car, it was from last weekend at the DSM/EVO/GTR Shootout.

Thanks Collin I appreciate it man! That launch was one of my best to date. One of my goals this year was to cut a 1.3 60ft and I did which was awesome. I cut a 1.37

UPDATE! 9/1/13

Haven't been back to the track since I ran the 8.77 a couple weeks back. I have a change coming to the car and I plan to be back out to the track in a couple weeks. Living in Chicago, we only have 2 months left of good racing so I plan to get out before the snow comes lol.

I don't want to spill what the change is just yet, but I will next week. I'm looking forward to getting the car back out the track and try to set a new PB!

For now, I uploaded another video from that night. This pass I went 8.85 @ 163mph. This pass was made, then my next one was the 8.77 pass. I still watch all the videos pretty much everyday lol. The car is running great and definitely can't wait to get back out there and finish up the season even stronger

8.85 @ 163:

UPDATE!! 9/10/13

Quick update everyone. Car at the moment is sitting in my garage awaiting some new rubber. I went with the M/T 26 x 8.5 x 15. They will be here in a couple days. I am also thinking about getting different rims for the car and try something new. I don't know which kind yet, but that might be something I decide to change up in the off season.

I also have a little something else coming for the car, there's a 99 at the end of it Looking forward to getting the slicks mounted and everything buttoned up then back on the dyno the car goes. I plan to be back out to the track in a couple weeks or if not sooner. I will keep this updated as the days go on, stay tuned!

Oooooooo Ekkk! That sounds a bit scary! Quite a large step up in lag, the one with the 94 at the end not crazy enough?

Ultra keen to see how it goes, regardless of what it is. I am loving this build - must be about due for a new late model EVO record!

Go big or go home right? Even though the 99 is still on a T3 frame setup compared to others that are on big T4 setups. Of course going after and breaking records would be ideal, but that is very hard to do. I am very close and confident, but I am not a shop owner, not even a mechanic for that matter.

There is no unlimited parts, time, or money to increase the time of this build for breaking records for me. I do this for the love of the sport/hobby and for the platform. I just take my time, go out there and get it done the best I can. I have been very successful and reached every single goal I set out for my self. I am looking forward to the next month. We will see what happens. Thank you for the kind words, the Junk Box has came a long way.
