Live from Jegs Cajun Sportsnationals-Belle Rose

X2 congrats guys



Jeff Ruined it? Really?

That combo went 1.21 under? Its all tapped out? What now you have to use the laptop to dial in 100% throttle? Cant run 1 second under at 150 heavy? Have to take the power steering off? I doubt its completly ruined. Just a bit harder to run 1.25 under

Well it is 10:00 and nobody has gone down the track yet and it has not rained a drop and was not foggy! Unless this track gets some equipment that can get the track ready after it has rained and some equipment to get oildowns cleaned up, you might as well plan on being here late or extra days! Also you need to bring your own fuel. We went up to buy some of their expensive fuel this morning and nobody was there to sell it. And then after someone showed up, he had to do an inventory before he could start selling any. By this time, there were about 10 people there wanting to buy fuel. After all this IS race day! So anyway!

I contemplated a while before commenting – but I thought since we have one of the V10s I should – we can run that fast with a 2spd – we ran 9:12 in Bakersfield at BB weight a month ago with our Arrow Racing engine

That said we had already decide to run AA - even with the new 21 HP - we can not get to the minimum weight in AA - the new BB weight will be 3663 – I doubt you or we can run as fast with 140 more lbs in BB

As I suspected – from what I am seeing - I do not think we need to try the 3spd just yet

Congrats on the record but I bet the CJs are not going to allow a Dodge to keep it for very long

Jeff, you should've just given me the $500 protest money and put it towards tuning that Southland slug of yours. I would have been more than happy to lend a hand but you're obviously too proud to ask. I'm blown away that you honestly thought we would put our reputation on the line by cheating. You really showed your true colors this weekend. At least I had the balls to go through teardown. Maybe your pistons are the ones they should be looking at.

And to say we ruined the combination is plain absurd. We would still be at the top of the sheet with the added weight. This was our first outing since we updated the car. Trust me, there is lots left, I was only getting started with the tuning. Plus the air was terrible. 1750 da with 85% humidity, far from the Gainesville and Val Dosta weather. Maybe .15-.20 slower?

Yes, we will be receiving a HP hit next week, but at least we are walking away with an official NHRA record in hand which means a lot in my book.

Congratulations David! Great run! Us CJ guys new that the V10s had that potential. Fantastic for you guys.

Great Job David, Makes me laugh at some of these guys on here who said these cars were not that underfactored. They tried to make us believe that their cars were going that fast because of all the hard work they had done. LMAO Again you have shown the way. Now all we need to do is get you a Mustang. Barry

Heck, I never thought about that. :-)

I've run my phone battery down two days in a row checking DRC. LOL
