Congratulations! I was watching you and your crew working hard that day and I love the fact that you guys never gave in with so many obstacles. Your heart and dedications definitely shows with your results.

 

Thanks man... It was seriously the roughest weekend I've had in years.. nothing went right, until the very end. Thanks!

 

NYCE1S video of the pass. From this angle you can see how loose the rear end was in first and second.. I think the NYCE1S guys did a great job putting this video together!

 

and Len, you're right. I do owe DW a thank you for helping out in the burnout box. there was a little miscomunication between me and my boys after the newly wired line loc didn't hold for the first burnout attempt. Thanks Darrek!

 

Nice pass and cool video!

 

Any previous runs same day or runs after?

 

there was one run prior to this.. car got very loose in second gear and I aborted the pass and went 13.xx. I've got no cage so a bad pass at 10.9 would have been enough to kick me out...

after this pass I was going to try and sneak in one more run, but the water pump belt had shredded itself on the 9.50 pass and something in the rear end let go in fourth gear making the car feel really unsafe, so my day was done...

I'll be back out with the car at the Fall Nationals at e town on October 6th with some wider slicks and power shifting to see if I can knock another couple tenths off.

 

All the best bro...

 

I really love the quote in your sig..... 'Life begins at 2 bar'

Roan, you even have guys that don't own rotaries any more coming out of the woodworks to give you props

 

speed: are those 17" skinnies on the front? If not who is running them? or is everyone on 15"

 

they are 15 inch front and rear.. a few guys are running the 17's and they look sick. for next year i wanna get the 17's

 

Whats the wheel setup? How thick of a spacer or adapter u run on the front and is the back a 15x8 with 5.5 backspace with a 26" tall tire? The front is a 15x4 with 1.75 backspacing right with a 25 or 26" tall tire in the front?

 

Awesome car!

 

That funny feeling when I'm planning a stripped down drag car, and my goal is slower than Roans FD...

Showed the video of your car to all the guys at work and they loved it!! Great job man, keep up the good work!!

 

Out of curiosity how much whp dose this car make.... I've been waiting for someone else to ask.
