New low et
Went to WI international Raceway today and lowered my best et and also set new MPH time also. Made 6 runs:
1st) 12.30 at 108.061 2nd) 12.271 sec. at 107.425 mph 3rd) 12.366 at 108.319 4th) 12.263 at 108.206 5th) 12.294 at 110.696 Best MPH 6th) 12.257 at 109.875 Best ET It was in low 70's and sunny, just a great day for racing. Cowboy Bob was not ready to run yet, so just did test and tune. I do have a video of the last and best et run and will try to put it on You Tube & post thread to find where it is. It does show me pulling the front wheels about 6" or so. Just to much fun!!!!! |

Re: New low et
Sounds like you are really getting that thing dialed in if you can pick up the front end and run that quick.
Gives the rest of us a high mark to shoot for.

Re: New low et
That is really great, I'm still waiting on pistons. It seems like equipment manufacturers only make SB Chevy parts anything else takes months. Keep up the good work.

Re: New low et
Check out youtube.com and search for "Hamb Gas Dragster sets new et record" and you should find the 12.257 sec. run. Thanks for all waytogo's, we really have a good group of people in this.

Re: now with video!
Video was shot by Bill Moon of Bill's Custom Exhaust, and I thank him for that. Cowboy Bob and Bill came up to watch, so I put Bill to work on Camera. Also special thanks to Gerry Troedel, my crew chief, a great help & much appreciated.

Re: New low et
New best: At WIR Raceway on 5/10/08
12.230 sec. at 108.170 mph with 1.741 sec. 60' time. Cowboy Bob had his rail also & we had a real exciting race, he had me until at least the 1/8th mi. great fun. He cut a great light & did 12.815 to my 12.336 on that run. I believe this to be his beat to date. He is fired up about that. We sure wish more rails were coming to Indy???? |
