Awesome job. Doing it with a stick is very cool also.

Thats bad a#%! Congrats!

Congrats!!

For those fourty seven passes, where are you going?

Is Mission your current go-to strip?

I'm assuming as such because it's a lower elevation, and better DA.

Edmonton is a nice track, but it still has elevation going against you iirc;
Medicine Hat is a bit of a lower elevation, but I have never been there...

Just curious.

I have never broken out of the thirteens in anything... then again I have never run anything at a lower elevation.

Doing it with a stick!
 
Man that's awesome.

Reed knows how to build a great turbo. Had him update mine this year.

Congrats!!

Most runs were at Castrol and a couple at Rimbey, mission has been closed all year I think

Really Awesome! 160 mph! Holy cow!

When I watched you go down the track at drag week the last couple years and noticed the crazy high trap speeds on some of the passes I figured it was a matter of time before you were down in the low 9s. Breaking into the 8s though, that is crazy fast! Great job!

thepontiacman 09-16-2020 10:33 PM

Congrats! Good to see it in the 8's.

Saw a video of you and your Fairlane friend I think at Drag Weeks. Cool to see you race and drive across country.

MUSLCAH 09-16-2020 10:58 PM

Now that’s a ride !

SR-71 09-16-2020 11:30 PM

Man that's one sweet run! Glad to see a 1/4 mile run and not the 1/8 that is so common anymore.

Jack Gifford 09-17-2020 12:48 AM

Congratulations! Thanks for posting.

Great run and video. Sounds crisp and clean. Driving it all over the place is a bonus. A real 8 second street Pontiac!

I was wondering the same thing. How is your alignment?

Are you running negative caster?

Wow, that leg is fast!
