New quickest for the Nova

Glen · February 21, 2016, 11:29:49 AM

Ran a 7.16 last night at 195 MPH. My old best was 7.25

Ran 3 passes 1/8 mile during the streetcar takeover at 4.64 each pass.
best 60ft 1.131

At the end of the night I had a $5k grudge race against a radial tire car and won that race. It was hype for the event and I gave the money back to the driver.

car is leaving very nice.....im sure there will be some youtube videos and I will come back here and post them.

straight as an arrow with the exact same chassis setup as that video where it was spinning on the starting line.....it was definitely the transmission failure that was causing the spin.

its the highest of highs.....and the lowest of lows. That video I posted last month was 3 passes in a row of spinning the tires. To come out and do it right last night was huge.

Thanks for the update, Glen.

I've been wondering how things have been going.

Glen,
That car has to be one of the nicest 1/4 mile cars I have ever seen. I would really like to see it up close some day!

Awesome video from the stands

kb426 · February 24, 2016, 09:30:09 PM

The view from the stands was great. The cameras are so much better than when I was racing that there's great video a lot. That was a good run. How much more power is left? 500?
