Second time testing and set a new PB! 12.61 off the 13.00 index with the new intake, 15 mph tail wind, 1000 ft DA, and adjusted shift points. Thanks Jeff Miles and Darlington Dragway for the 1/4 mile testing!

haha yeah, he's pretty proud of that old Camaro! I tease him all the time about how I wouldn't have it if it was mine. It's pretty rough but it means the world to him. People who don't know drag racing don't believe me when I tell them how much better he is than me. To do what he's done, with the car and equipment he has is unreal.

More TIPs to come……..

You know, it’s sooo nice to see a youngster with some fire in his BELLY actually put his $$ where his mouth is AS opposed to the GEEZERS on this site that flat WEAR out Billy Nees and YAC week in and week out KNOWING damn well that most of them are just DREAMING….Build it AND they will come ….

I did not know until he put this thread up who this young man was, let me just say this boy has talent. He has already won a national event in super gas , and comes from an excellent racing family with a father, who is also a champion. I am sure he will find success in this class also.
good luck my friend.
