Bump for Bonneville. The Mansons are on their way. I will be leaving after work Thursday night. Should be on the salt by noon Friday.

I've met Roger and Marlene at Mission Raceway in British Columbia when they were driving the "Rapid Fire" jeep with the blown 4-cylinder. Whatta car !

The thing sounds amazing & is loud as hell Louder than a lot of V8 cars with open exhaust

I think he ran a high 8-second quarter during the "Old Tyme Drags" event
Low 9's were routine

They're sure nice people too and are passionate about going FAST with good old Pontiac power

The Good Bad and Ugly,

Good is it was a great time out there with Roger, Marlene and crew.

Bad was breaking a blower stud and lifting the blower (back fire) on first pass.

Ugly was windowing the block on 3rd run. I will post the pictures this weekend.

Second run ended badly before the second mile. This block will make a great coffee table.

It looks like they have found the maximum power level for the T4!

Like all engines just before they let go, it was running sweet. Sounded good warming up before second and last run. Nothing out of the ordinary sounded great. POW! Did not make a third run as previously stated.
