7.59@177

Well we got back in town after 3 weeks of racing and testing. I am beat. But the car ran some good numbers. This year started like shit. It began with a 24 hour drive straight to Bullish Motoracing. We got the new program in and got the car to run fine. So we dicided to try the 2 step. First time on the 2 step it made 38 PSI shot a rocker arm off, wedged it between the cam and the valve, pushed the valve into the piston and bent the shit out of the valve. That was the night I was suppose to leave for Florida. So I proceeded to work most of the night and the next morning to fix it. About the time the sun came up I was leaving for Florida. I got to Florida and we got the car all back together and running and raced up to make the 1st pass. I ran a 7.96@171 with low boost. 2nd pass It ran 7.77@175. 3rd pass I left the rearend, axels, driveshaft and tranny on the starting line. That was the end of my weekend. I had all the parts except a driveshaft. The following weekend I went to Virginia for the Nopi race. 1st pass I ran 7.82@175. 2nd pass I ran 7.77@175. 3rd pass I set the national record with a 7.59@177. We qualified #1 and won the race. No broken parts. With the numbers I ran we did the math and figured the car is making 1160 HP at the crank.

Just wanted to give you the latest on my heap

That is freaking awesome. I say next time your back in MN bring it to a Rock Falls event lol, that would be sweet!.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

It would probably lose traction and go into the wall at that fine track. The old AWD was all over the place trying to run 9s there.

[AJ]

AWESOME! Thanks for the updates!

[carltalon]

AWSOME #'s. I need to see that thing in action!

[Jacek]

What are you goals for this year if you don't mind me asking? Sleep well :cheers:

[Jakey]

Awesome Brent, if you don't mind me asking, what type of driveshaft do you use? The reason I'm asking is because I'm working on a project here at school involving a custom driveshaft for our 1/4 Scale Tractor Pulling Tractor and it's quite interesting to see the variety of options available for aftermarket driveshafts.

[Raptor]

Nice numbers Brent, especially after all the late night candle burning. :3gears:

[Goat Blower]

Nice work Brent. The new changes to the car look good from what I can tell. I gotta get down and see them in person.

[JustROLLIN]

Impressive, most impressive. Congrats!

Kudos! It's funny to think that he's to the end of the 1320 before I finish the 1/8th. Ouch.

great numbers. 1160 bhp. That's retarded fast.
