should be interesting.......I just might have to head out to scribner to see this.....hmmm....about what time do you guys end up going out there? Me and some friends here might roll out there to catch a race or two. There's not much else to do in Bellevue as it is...

no go. it prety much just spit out the head gasket once i turned it up.
we made a couple of runs turning it up each time, the 3rd run i gave it a prety good bump. i sprayed a 100shot the entire run and the loger shows 19.4psi average. it riped off the line an got ALL OVER THE PLACE, not really a great launch but i stayed in it anyways. 1/8th was 6.5@110. 110mph in the 1/8th was a new best. then about 1000' out it got loud all the sudden. all i could hear was like a large exhaust leak but i guess it shot a few fire ***** out the side of the truck. i think the head gasket just completely blew out. i ended up running a 10.16@136 with a 1.65 60'. it is running hard, no miss up top, tranny is shifting nice. nothing funny untill the head gasket let go.
i might bust *** and fix it and try and hit kc or i might just call it quits for now.
loggers all looked prety good. a/f was 11.5-12.0, KR was minimal, only one hit that wasn't at a shift and it was 1.9deg. the highest timing of the run was 14deg. it all looked prety good to me. maybe next time.
kyle got most of the run on video but then he taped over the very end. hopefully he will make a video of it.
