Wally told me right after, he left, the motor bogged a little, (it was hooked up hard) he thought it was going to be a bad run. He banged the gears like Ronnie Sox, and was stunned when he got the time slip. I told him earlyer in the day "today will be the day". I was in the stageing lane, missed the whole thing. drat!

That car 60ft times are amazing! 3600-3700lb car on small tires in the 1.30 range. Is it 4 linked or does he run caltracs?

These time slips are great. There you can see what happens and where. Wally's time is very impressive to such a heavy car. Way to go ! Here is data from Jyrkis third run at Finnish Ford Nationals with our dragster. ET: 11.926 Speed 184,05 km/h which equals 114,36 mph RT: 1.150 s 60 ft 1,863 s 330 ft 5,056 s 660 ft 7,686 s 990 ft 9,972 s So, Jyrki's start was bad, it was pulling hard at the middle of the way and at the end the rev limiter (5300 rpm) killed the show  .

Gary, he had the transmission gone over so he can shift quicker.

Way to go Wally, no only is the car impressive, but banging those gears manualy like he does is equally impressive!!! Kudos!!!!
