Congrats Rich!
Following up on the fun we had at Cecil last week and new best of myself I decided to go to Etown for the EFI shootout today to see if I could better my times. I called Rich to see if he wanted to go with his wifes car and of course he says sure I'll go just let me put a new set of plugs in the car.
I ran a best of 12.03 @ 117 today with a 2.08 60ft
didn’t better my 11.82 from Cecil. I tried out my race chip and I think I got a little over zealous with the boost so I switched back to my street chip.
Then eliminations start and I win 1st round but lose in 2nd and decided to watch Rich and the slick car class. Rich won the 1st two rounds, then in the 3rd round was dialed in at 11.60 and ran Vette dialed in at 11.03, Rich cuts the tree like a young George Washington with an ax and right at the stripe slams the brakes and goes 11.601 on a 11.60 dial. In the finals Rich ran a 9.65 Firebird and the gentleman red-lited and Rich ran it out to an all time best in his wifes car of 11.47@114.95 on ET streets and through the mufflers. I think he said his 60 ft's were in the low 1.6's.
His wifes car is simply amazing, totally stock appearing and so consistant. When I rebuilt my car over the summer Rich was generous enough to share his receipe with me. Hopefully when I get my car ironed out it'll at least be as consistant as his wife's car.
Lets hope the weather holds up for Atco next month.
