2rismo Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 After a very long wait, Alex has piloted wreckedhead's 'JETT' to a 10.8 tonight at WSID. Having some problems with the activation of the gas saw an early 11.1. But all this changed when the 50 shot kicked in and the 127mph terminal speed and 1.59 sec 60' time joined forces to produce the 10.8 he's waited for for so long. With a relatively low mph, it's the 60' that does the talking here but wheelspin especially in the front is said to still be a big problem so slicks are the next order of the day and (I hope) a bigger shot of gas! I'm assured that the timeslip will be scanned when he gets home from the strip and posted for us to drool over. Well done wreckedhead, seriously impressed that it's finally here.

Thanks. I've given it a really good clean (warm water only) and I always make sure the air conditioning is on a low setting before I launch. What I'm doing on this forum is learning how to improve my ETs from other guys with late model fuel injected cars that run IRS!

wreckedhead Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 mate did Alex pilot the car for the 10.8 or yourself i tried my luck at taking it down the track with the 50shop, but untill alex came and told me the gas was leaking out of the pressure gauge, we fixed the problem took the gauge off and he took it for its first proper drag with gas, after he run the 10.8 he got banned.
