Thanks Ted, there are so many hours in this car....I remember when the Maggie Heartbeat first came out to the public and you shipped me one looking for better IATs in the mile.... That seems like ages ago.... I appreciate the support you and many others have given me along the way. I know the car can go a lot faster, at the time of that run DA was around 2200 and there was about a 10mph headwind.

Thanks! And just to let you know, I made 6 runs and drove the car onto the trailer at the end of the event with the car running just as strong on the last run as it was on the first. I know this sounds pretty straight forward but when you are putting down more than 1000 hp there are very few cars that can run through an entire event with many runs and never have a problem of any kind at all (this is the first time I have ever experienced this). I'm very pleased with the LME engine work because it took over 28 pounds of boost on a 427 and didn't have a hiccup.

Damn that is fast. I can't imagine the feeling of shifting from 4th to 5th at WOT and holding it there. Much easier said than done. Congratulations.

I can assure you it feels even worse shifting into 5th and the box going bang lol

And after that...staying in 4th and revving the crap out of it instead because you know you can go faster than the competition for the 1/2 using only 4th anyway lol

Great to see someone pushing it hard over distance, instead of just dyno runs !

from yesterday afternoon. Had it cranked up to about 1400+ whp, hard time getting traction in the 1/4 and half mile on the toyo tires but it really comes on at the big end.

Heck Yeah, nice run Jess, I wish I could have been there to see it...
