we ran a new best this weekend
Frank Merkl August 12th 2013, 9:23 pm
got the car to run a new best by the end of the weekend 7.51 @ 184.78 mph with a 1/8 time of 4.82 @ 147 mph this isn't the run but one of 17 passes the burble at the end of the run is the nitrous shutting on and off because the switch got out of adjustment because of extreme tire shake in 2nd gear

I've worked my tail off so we can have a car to run , and I'll have to admit , I built the motor but , , my Kids a driver , and he's learning to be a GREAT nitrous Tuner , as we have not hurt nothing on the motor ! and the leak is still less than 5 %

Nice car and a great run Frank. How old is your boy and how long has he been in the seat?

Good job with the driving, it's great that you two get to do this together. I've got two sons and only one shares my gear head interests. He's into turbos and I'm learning a lot from him.
