Sam, congratulations on a job well done. 150 plus is a great accomplishment because it is only a one mile standing start run. It is more like a drag race than at El Mirage with 1.3 miles or Bonneville with 3.0 miles to get top speed. Yes, I envy your smooth ride. By the way, the car looks great.

Good job! You're right, it's easy on paper. You just keep trying though and it pays off!

Well I'm proud to say we can claim another Land speed record for the Y-block and the 55 ford. The ECTA season got underway this weekend at a new venue in Wilmington Ohio and man is it a great facility. One mile smooth as silk concrete (much different than Maxton as I'm sure Charlie can vouch for). We were able to run 152.25 for the C/CPRO record. The weather was not in our favor but we managed 2 passes in between rain shower. 148.12 and then our 152.25. the class had a open record due to the new venue but we felt a little vindicated by breaking the retired Maxton record by 4 MPH. Here is a small video of the run. I have a better in car video but I will have figure out how to edit it down before I can post it. I got to hand it to the other LSR y-blocker out there running it seems easy on paper till you get out there trying it. Thanks Sam Gable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsM41gH9IOs
