The ol' SUV made some money last night :) .

I finished in 2nd place. Had major traction issues as the night wore on and couldn't get the N2O to fire :( . I'll have that sorted out for the cruise next weekend though.

I met Duncan with his "V6"... That's a damn nice car!! Too much power for street tires, and he had a couple problems early on, which were later solved. But he was still out there giving it hell :eek:

I got smoked first round. It's never good when you run faster on motor than on juice. :rolleyes: 8.49 at 83.4 on motor. 8.5 at 89 on juice. Those trailblazers cut nasty 60fts. I saw 1.7s on street tires? :eek:

It was nice to meet all of ya'll. 1.7-1.8's on street tires is damn impressive. :eek:

Never did fix it (thought we did). Damn intermentint issues! Took it to HPP today and what do you know......it ran perfect :rolleyes:
I am taking one of the b.o.v.'s off now to see if that was the problem. I will be running 200lbs of sand bags next time. lol

Did I run you in the first round? That was my best N/A pass of the night. Best 60' even.

On my half-ass N2O pass I run a 7.80@90mph, spinning and getting in and out of it. After that the N2O never worked right again :( .

My buddy with the white trailblazer clicked off a 7.19 @ 97mph w/ a 1.65 60' <- discount tire "grabber" tires. LOL!!

Mine had a wide range of 60's. Hahaha! Best of a 1.77. Worst was a mid 2.2X.

My other TBSS buddies didn't fare as bad since their tires were closer to stock size. I'll race on 2 full sized spares next time. :D
