May 11 gtg at the track

I just wanted to extend an invite to any and all who might want to come down for a day of racing. Ken White is putting together a TNT day on April 6. I know Jason will have his grey ghost there and Ken will surely make some passes in his. If Jason turns up the wick some more I feel he could make some low five sec passes.

Should be a great time.

Sadly it appears the Houston group is having a gtg that day but this is the day the track gave so that was kinda out of Kens control. Hopefully the GS guys will come up.

I was chatting with Ken and I think the date may have changed to May 11th.


I completely doubt there will ever be a low 5 second pass out of the limited. Maybe, and hesitate to use the word maybe, a mid to lower 6 second pass in the 1/8th

6.35 is considered to be about 10.0 quarter, NA. I have seen power adder's go 10.0 w/6.50 1/8. Low 6's is making some serious steam in a Regal size car. Race cars at that level can get on top of you quick, IMHO. Be safe.

According to his post on facebook it appears to have been moved to may 11. This is good as it will all for the Houston fellows to do their event the weekend of 6-7 and be able to come up for the track day .

Hope to see everyone there.

You haven't even come close to getting everything out of the ghost. It is a very quick street car.

Rich, it takes a minimum of 680 to the back tire to get one of these cars to crack the 9's on a 1.50 launch weighing in at 3550. At 30 PSI if one of these little engines sees a hint of KR you're gonna be picking up the pieces for a month. Jason has nothing to prove to anyone.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do!

Jason surely doesn't. But I know he put it together to run and run well for a long time.  And remember boost is a function of volume fitting through those passages. So thirty on one doesn't equal thirty on the next one or the one after that. And there was a time that Eddie hill cracked the four sec and three hundred mph barriers too. Everything moves forward.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

The Black one will do it.
