I hope you do make it out next time, if my schedule permits, the record will fall and the bar Will be raised... Corey has a plan and if he builds it, I'll drive it...

Absolutely, I may have to go to a taller gear or raise the rev limiter next time out... We should be able to go 220+ with the 3.07s. First and second are pretty worthless with this power level... Even with first allowing me to go over 70 mph...heck, I spun them in 5th at 190... Need better tires...

See my edit? Could see something leave the tail of the car at the 2nd hay bail... I think I saw a puff right after passing the building too. Man, that would have been a fine run

If you listen to the sound before and after the building, there is certainly a different note, and the high speed popping is blowing from the cylinder through the blown out gasket... Today, I reached down between the number 1 & 3 header pipes towards the number 5 cylinder area, and there was a sharp shard of gasket sticking out... From about the area behind the bldg to the finish line the car was slowing down... The guys out there said they heard a loud bang, I just heard a pop... It's a little noisier in the car I guess... In spite of the head gasket issue, I have to say I absolutely LOVE this car... Corey and lots of others have built an absolute Animal... I wish I had the words to describe the raw power, the brutal acceleration... the utter stability... Even at 200 mph, this car is easy to drive... It requires 110% concentration, but there are no heavy driver inputs required, and it just plants and Hauls Ass... If we get the tire spin handled, which will always be an issue but we can certainly improve it, Brandi will be OMGWTFBBQ fast.... I'm in the process of compiling a list of all the vendors and the main general members that have contributed... and so many of them have posted in the thread... if they helped in no other way than suggestions and offers of encouragement...

Track > 1/4 Mile

Congratulations, it must have been a blast. Sorry to hear about your car, but in the grand scheme of things it could have been much worse. Hopefully I can make it out to the Texas mile sometime. What kind of power are you making?

Generally speaking it should cut your speed in half once it catchs and throw your foward into the belts. Kinda the reverse G's to the launch.

So, I got my edited video uploaded
I had originally planned on adding a soundtrack, but since both cameras were inside the car and both windows were up, the raw audio was all the soundtrack that was needed. Enjoy!
