Yup met Red. Judd ran 13.17 @112 mph and Shane ran a 11.97i believe. Yeah my brother isn't much into going fast anymore he just like to Smash the shit out of cars.

Wow! Judd's car flies! Judging by his et and mph, I am thinking he has a traction problem. That is a really high mph for a low 13. That car is only going to get quicker! Cool, Shane finally got that pig back into the 11s. I wonder what he changed. Last time he was running 12.50s and flinging belts.

Judd was running Gforce drag radials and since his car couldn't get into the waterbox he couldnt heat them up at all so yes he was spinning. Shane put March serpintine pullys on and electric fan and also richened it up a little more , plugs were white.

Does Shane have an MSD box? If so the plugs will always be white unless he is running super rich........then the plugs will start to show some color.

Yeah he does but the only thing that he changed this week I believe was the jets and car went faster. Car wasnt huffing any smoke so I don't think its to rich.

I am glad to see that he picked up over a half a second with just jetting. That is awesome! I can't believe the car is that fast with that mild of a motor in that heavy of a car. Those big block Chevys must make big power just by putting a nice coat of paint on. If that was a Ford Galaxy with a comparable Ford big block it would be a 14 second car. I need to build a Chevy!!!!!!

i'm not mad about what happened because the light was pretty close and the car ran what i thought it would go. my data from the last 2 weeks shows that with my car lane 2 was hooking better than lane one.

I've had a few people call me this morning and told me there were cars running .15 up to .30 off there dial ins in round 3 and later. Guys with much better lights were getting beat by bad lights because they ran way worse off their dial. Anyone else have any of these problems??? :confused:

Jim, I think it was Scott Petty and Kevin Rettler, his car at least. Who won the race didn't come up with the people I talked to. LOL I also think Jim Diedrick got to 4th or 5th round. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
