Looked good representing the little II's tough luck with the T-Brake? Still wasnt as bad a pass as you made it out to be on the thread I read. Just one hell of a acomplishment to make the draw out of all those poeple. You should be proud and Im sure you are!;)

A 'good job' would to have came back and claimed the $1000. The 540+ cubic inch all aluminum Indy Hemi in that Cuda was a little more (about a car length to be exact) than I could handle. If I could have launched off the T-brake and gotten the car up on the tire, I could have probably held my own and it would have been a hellova race at the top end. I had been killer on the 60' time the night before and the one time trial we had ( a 1.22 sixty with the REAR tires) The car was doing good till BTE shot me in the foot! Oh well, it was a fun day anyways. Thanks guys

Manny the transbrake was toast. I had to launch from idle. It doesn't hit the tires hard enough to toss the car up on the wheelie bars without launching from 5500. The suspension is all set up for a 5k launch,nothing to do with a lack of front movement. In fact I had to put travel limiters on it to help hold the fronts down.

Yeah Marv from what I saw knowing the problem you had I think you would have eat him up out the 60ft judging the way his car left I think you would have taken him on that one. But hey you give it your all and thats all you can do! Your on National Tv and thats alot more than 99% of us have done.
Yeah as soon as I seen that it was in Az I knew it was the one. As soon as it came on there was Casa Nova Doing a tire melting burn out! I was on the couch yelling at my wife to hurry up and see. I wish they had showed more of the Qualifying Passes like they did in the first All Out.:bowtie:
