Finnaly we got blackie out to the track we drove her over there with no problems i was suprised but she did good doing a little street tunning didnt want to beat on it to hard we got to the track let it cool down put the slicks on and got in line smoked the tires pretty good them there it went 1 gear slippin 2 the same 3rd started to hook a little pushed the gas to the floor spun again all down the track i am going to try and post the video of the car so you can see it i wasent to mad cause the car made it out and made it back with hardly any problems

 

I think I know why bro. Those slicks that you have arent the right kinda slicks. I just thought about this, but the sideway on the slicks are just way to stiff. The car looked good going down the track. I have both videos of the brothers running and jerry running. Im going to see what I can do about getting them on here.

 

i think you need bigger slicks next time.

Oh, please do. I think watching Jerry's runs was one of the high points of the night. That thing is scary fast. And I couldn't believe that the Brothers' car spun all the way through first, second, AND third. Pretty crazy.

 

What were Jerry's times? Wanted to get out there but I couldn't.

 

if the car caught traction, it would be pretty scary too. the car from a roll is alot more then times listed.

 

well glad u all had "fun". After miguels car decided not to make it, i headed home. Any updates on his car?

 

Miguels car is down again with hydrolock. The #2 cylinder was filled up to the top with alcohol. We dont know what happened but his motor is frozen solid. We tried towing it while it was in gear and the truck trying to tow it was just spinning the tires cause the car wouldnt budge.

As far as Jerry's runs, he broke his record times on the first 1/8 mile run and then shutting it down and then ran the 1/4 and shattered his old record of 10.89 @ 129 to his new time of 10.42 @ 133. The car looked absolutely incredible going down the track. I have videos, just have to find someone to help me get it on the computer.

 

wow that sucks. Last i heard it was just the exhaust manifold.

 

so what times did ya guys run dave?
