Hey Russc....
- Thread starter Phil Reed
- Start date
we need some information about what's happening in Indy!
All I can tell you is the same guy that won it the last three years won again
Well..."coulda..woulda..shoulda". The car was a star...the driver not so much. I hadn't driven the car for a full year. With the rain we only got two qualifiers. We changed the rear gear to a 6.00...3.06 first gear. On Wednesday the car hooked and came up about 4'...that's the wheels up 4' not the hood. Since I was focused on driving and not the shift lite we rattled the limiter which dropped the front end. When I pulled second the front came up again...felt like 4' again. By this time we were across the center line
Thursday things were some better. Went 8.67 at just over 157 mph. Again the driver screwed the pass up with a short shift in the 1-2. The clutch was separated for over a second.
We lost in the first round as the car moved to the wall as the driver hit the limiter in the first two gear changes. 8.66 at 156
We had the high mph for the event...the car was a star. I'm not sure if the team will let me drive anymore
We're going out again in about 3 weeks

I forget what trans you told me you were running Russ?
Russ, you really got ripped of in National Dragster. Russ had Top Speed of the “EVENT” at 157.19 and it was reported in ND that Gus Mantas on a first round bye run ran 299.93 MPH. Damn IT!!!!!
