Congratulations to everyone who got a new best tonight.
 
I think all 4 lightnings that were running tonight got new personal bests.
Before I left Larry reached his goal, and was cooling down for another pass. Arthur has the truck running top notch, congrats to Larry I'm glad you made it out and everything worked out.

From the sound of the few calls I got since I left Bill and Daryl are cutting some very very nice times.

....and even Derrick got a new best with the new blower. :bigthumb:

Congrats to all 4 of them guys.

I also got a new best in the diesel. I'll let everyone else post up their times when they get home, but here is mine in the diesel:

R/T ----- .029
60 ----- 2.288
1/8 ----- 9.503
MPH ---- 75.610

Not bad for a 6500 lb truck.

Dont forget about Derrick he got a new best also!

Mike 10-14-2007 10:57 PM

Damn that's right he did. I'll fix my post.

Man, I had a great time tonight. I don't get many nights out like that. I did run a new personal best, 7.67 on my street tune, so I'm happy.

Thanks to Arthur Todd, who set the truck up put a great tune on it and to Randy and Sean who lost a lot of sleep working on it.

Congratulations to Daryl and Mitch for overpowering the tires and still running well. Bill, what can I say? You blasted me in spite of me trying to sneek away early on you. Congrats on your last pass, too. Good job to Derrick as well on a new personal best. Thanks to everyone else for helping out. I hope now that I can go more often.

Bill Ran a 7.082 at 96 on the street tune with GREAT traction and My dad ran a 7.003 at 98 for the best time and a 7.062 at 101.5 for his best mph :shock: I think if he had taller tires that hooked a little better the truck would launch a little better.... I think they have maxed out the tires slightly for the silver truck.... :? Overall everyone got their new personal best and i think derek ran a 8.28 or 8.29 with the new blower :lol: Had fun tonight and wish i could be there more often to enjoy the fun....

Thanks for posting the times Daniel.

I'll try to get with Bill & Mitch to get some time slips posted.

Mike 10-15-2007 12:14 AM

Bill those secret mods you have must be really paying off. For how your truck was set up tonight (low boost, low timing, stock front tires) a 7.0 is outstanding. :bigthumb:

1BAD4DR 10-15-2007 12:22 AM

No problem....i forgot the 60 foots

Bill on his best run was a 1.52
Dad on his best was a 1.58

Those tires were awesome on bills truck! Tires on daryls were a little outmatched with the power that the truck was putting down tonight :D But hey i think they would rather have that problem than not having it

:cool:

Great runs guys! congrats! Somebody would be putting the heat on the chevelle! :D

Lurch 10-15-2007 02:15 AM

Chevelle
 
Wade I think you still have us but I was blasting the slicks to about half track then making it up at the other end that pass over 100 MPH I thought I had the 6's. But you know how that is Soo close a little bigger tire and I will have it. It was Fun and Congradulations to everyone. Wade Hope you had a nice vacation I'm sure they are like most of us to short. Hope to see the L and the Chevelle soon. See Ya Mitch.

Damn the silver truck was rolling ! That thing for sure has a 6 in it ! Maybe on SVT day it can knock out a 6 and a 10 at the same time ! Congrats on the new bests everyone !

Oh I think both the Silver and Black truck will have 6's by then. Lets hope anyways. That 6 is elusive for the Charleston L's.

wade w 10-15-2007 11:17 AM

Mitch, we will have to set up a race. Just for fun! I think it will be a lot closer than you think. If you get me at the tree you will win. :D I think the L's are awsome to go that fast with a 5.4 and to be as heavy as they are. congrats on all of the hard work paying off.

Lurch 10-15-2007 07:15 PM

Thanks
 
Thanks Wade There has been a lot of work that is for sure. I Hope We can Race and I hope we can make it close and Yes for Fun thats the way I like it. Hope all is Well Mitch

Magoo 10-15-2007 08:36 PM

1iron 10-16-2007 10:02 AM

Wow. When the blower weather gets here you guys are in the 6's easy.
