Thunder Shootout Update from Harold

Well I have been recieving calls from Harold down in Louisiana updating me on how his car is running and he wanted me to post up the results for him.
Day One Friday- Backed it off the trailer with 25 psi in the stickys and launching in 2nd gear he ran a 11.50 something at 120mph.

2nd run- Adjusted tire pressure to ?? and launched in 1st gear this time and run an 11.13 at 121mph.Almost got the 10 second run he was looking for on motor.He told me he was going to wait for it to cool down and run it again in the evening when the temps were a little cooler and go for the 10's on motor again.That was the last I heard from him on that day.

day two- I guess he only got one run in today from what he said.This time he was spraying on it and ran a 10.06 at 134mph.So once again he almost made it to the 9's on spray.I have not gotten a Sunday update as of yet.I was supposed to post this up earlier but this is the first cahnce I got.Looks like he's doing pretty good.All the messages on my phone , he sounded excited as hell.

copngrats to Harold!!! i spoke with Derty last night, he went 9.68 with a butt load of tire shake, and he qualified 2nd in MS/PA!!

how cool is that! cody beat Ron Duke in madman's car. apparently the madman doesn't drive his own car.. i am still trying to figure that one out. Ron Duke did make an 8.57 pass though!!! awesome!

Taner you beat me to it.I was in the truck driving down to D town for school when I got the call.Harold told me he went 9.90 at 137.And that is bad luck on the 12 bolt.But as we spoke about a week or so ago.You gotta pay to play!!But it still sucks.

LOL Taner low blow .

Then again, I'd take a broken rear if it meant I ran a 9 earlier in the day. Congrats man!

Congrats Harold! Sorry about the broken 12-bolt though, so soon after you got your baby back too... I guess that's why you trailer it long distances, huh?

Major congratulations, Harold!

I'll have to ask the question in another thread, I'm sure, but how does one 'break' a 12-bolt?

With an improperly set up gear.. I had hoped to have the car running like this for the Camaro Z nats, then I wouldn't have had to drive so many miles to find the weak link. Thanks for posting up the times James. Taner, you kill me.
