i was standing behind Grant McCreary's car saturday when he left.
OMFG it look as if he was hooked to a steam catapult on an aircraft carrier when he let it rip. i think he covered the 330' in close to 3.0 seconds and ran a 4.50 something at around 160mph. he almost won KOTH saturday if it had not been for a little bobble after a 1 minute burn down on the tree between him a Kenny Barnes. is the car an older pro5.0 car?

les beaur (sp???) pro car. When Grant bought the car it was a blower car.

Les had 1 nitrous car for Pro 5.0 and 1 blower car - both looked the same.

It's Les Bear. The car ran 4.6s when Les retired from racing what 4 years ago? Btw Kenny Barnes doesn't usually drive, if he does his car is a low 5 second ride. It's usually ex pro stock driver and chassis builder Kim Smith driving. He is ruthless and will do whatever it takes to win, including burning down a turbo car on the tree if they let him.

What do ya'll mean by "burning down". Letting him keep the boost built for too long 'til he has to back off it?
