dang that's quick, especially given the 60' time.

Got a lot more in it

Got a lot more in it

understatement of the month, right there... what are you planning to get it?

I'd like a competitive 8 second timeslip, something in the 8.5-8.75 range though an 8.80-8.9 would be a very good stopping point James Karger, our tuner already campaigns an LSx Mustang that runs consistently in the low 5's so he has several years worth of experience driving cars that fast. I realize on the first pass he made with boost that I am not qualified to handle the car. I do think I can handle it quite well in the low to mid 10 second range on just the waste gat without the full boost. That is probably where I will be with it for a while to come. On the other hand I have a streetable low 9 second car to drive, nothing wrong with that. Would love to get that 9 second pass on the videos here.

I was thinking you were getting "there".... Oh how wrong I was!
Practice makes perfect..
I know I would love the fast timeslip behind the wheel... Would you like it if James has the fastest slip?
At those speeds/times.. Stuff must happen pretty quick!
Always love seeing how you do!

Thanks Bob. The intent is for me to take over once James gets it dialed in. I will enjoy learning to drive a car that fast, just don't want to rush it. I am very happy with the way it is turning out and if James were willing I would love to compete in an event with him driving. In our local venue that are plenty of opportunities. I have been driving the car on the "gate." ie at the mid 10 level.

Lots of work needed on the suspension.

In the DFW area Kenny Seigler did a fantastic photo shoot of our recent track day where we did some shakedown passes of Ethyl. Enjoy the shots.

Interesting photo study.
