New Best 1/4 Mile ET

I went to Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, KY today for the last test-n-tune of the year today. Nothing serious, just wanted to play around and get a 1/4 mile timeslip. It had been well over a year since I had run 1/4 mile and still didn't have an official 8-second run under my belt. I do now. Best pass of the day was a 8.749@149.02 with a very soft 60' and some high rpm break-up (hopefully just needs fresh plugs). The 1/8th mile was only 5.617@128.58, so I was leaving a lot on the table with my conservative tune-up. But I wasn't looking to push it too hard at all.

Craig wins last race of the year at Lake Cumberland



1st pass of the day at Lake Cumberland Dragway in Jamestown, KY. 5.55@126 with a 1.31 60'. As you can see, there was a good bit of tire shake that slowed me down.

By the end of the day, it ran a 5.48@126.8 with a 1.281 60'...all new personal bests.

I also took home the win in Outlaw 8.5/DOT.
