New 55 and CLK records set off nitrous!

Unfortunately ccw sent me the wrong spacers so I can't use my wheels. Thanks to Jason, because he let me borrow his drag radials. On only a 1.69. 60' I ran back to back 11.036 @ 125.63 hot lapping (trap was different). My best 60' on the ccws was 1.55 and I'm making more power now. I know you guys can do the math.

Having lunch now and then I'm gonna start launching harder. Feels great to have the no nitrous record! And the CLK record is back where it belongs!!! On pump, NO nitrous! Tens or broken axles coming reallll soon! Stay tuned

Solid numbers. Ice down the blower and bring back a 10 sec slip!

Thanks everyone! Means a lot.

Sorry to disappoint but I didn't go tens. Just couldn't get traction on that tire! Best I could do is an 11.00 Imagine how I feel! Ughhh. It was in positive DA so I know it will go tens soon. Gonna cut some weight and put the ccws on. Should go 10.8x the way it sits on just tire!

You should've taken a dump while you were at lunch for weight savings.

Congrats Ahmad, I can only imagine your face when you picked up your 11.00 timeslip.

Isn't this the 2nd time CCW screwed you?

Congrats man, you certainly deserve it 11.00 is wicked fast

Whatever you ate for lunch likely robbed you of 10s..... I hope it was worth it.

What was your trap speed on the 11.00 run?

Congrats! Too bad I couldn't make it down there to see the action, even though I live like only 20 minutes from the track -- I work too much. I guess having work isn't something to complain about these days, though...

Haha. I had a ltw battery at the track but didnt put it in thinking that more weight in the rear would help with traction ughh

You shoulda been there! Jason and the guys were messin with me so he switched the board to one of Jamies pases and read 10.99 when I came back to the staging lanes! I was so happy!, then he handed me the timeslip, 11.00 They got a kick out of that

Yes this is the second time CCW screwed me. First they sent me the wrong offset wheel. 15mm wrong to be exact! Not a small amount. And now they screwed me with the wrong spacers!

What was your trap speed on the 11.00 run?
Thanks!

125.54mph on that 11.00 pass

My best 1/8th mile trap was 99.60mph I fell short on all the nice round numbers LOL

I'm gonna put some tire on it and take out about another 100lbs (race seat, ltw battery, etc etc) or so. I expect 10.7x or better on pump gas. Then we start playng with the nitrous
