Coastal Plains 080709

Didn't see too many diesel trucks out there, was hoping to see more. Anyway, I finally took my new engine build down the 1/4 mile for some shakedown and test and tune passes. The testing and tuning didn't go so well since my power inverter didn't want to work and my laptop died, but I got a handful of passes in anyway. With my 28" cheaters and a 5 speed I was fluttering at 4400rpm before the end of the track. My best of the night was:

60' ------- 1.6511
330' ------ 4.6872
1/8 ET ---- 7.2060
1/8 mph --- 98.25
1/4 ET ---- 11.1834
1/4 mph --- 122.19

I think the 10s on fuel are in reach on this turbo, just a couple tweaks.

Man that is awesome. I sure miss racing there. I am also sure some heads were turning when you put that number down. Good luck in the future with it.

Did they kick you off running that fast, or do you have a cage? I know for insurance reasons they used to kick you off if you ran any faster than 12's without a cage. Nice numbers!I miss hangin out with everone out there, but don't miss NC...

Rules are faster than 11.5 needs a cage, I don't have one but didn't get kicked off yet. I will have to put a cage in soon though - they really don't like to see 10s without one.
