The only cars that ran faster than 12 was the mustang with the flames and the drag cobalt who ran 10's. Don't worry I won't post your 13.4 run I have CC's 13.2 run I'll post them on streetfire tomorrow. Hope everything turns out okay with your car hopefully it's something small. Does something have to be done with your FCON since you think you ran out of gas? Just a thought.

that cobalt was impressive but the flamed mustang spun out 2 or 3 times, last run doing a few circles...I did not want to be in that car or the car racing him... he should have not continued to run he brought everyone in danger.

Sam is on his way over here hopefully it's something silly

Hopefully it is something silly. Yeah alot of cars were losing traction. I don't know why they put the drag strip on that side. Did you see the STI that almost t-boned the muscle car? The muscle car lost traction and went into the STI's lane the STI still ran 14 after missing that car lucky he didn't panic and hit the brakes.

here ar CC's (me). I pulled a first time ever for me .000. Perfect reaction. But I spun every run in first gear I ran 2.3 60 ft in first vid,if I would have run 1.7 60 ft I would have definetly broke into the 12's

Update:

Sam and Gurgen just came by.

It's definetely the fuel pump. Yesterday when I first got off the freeway I still heard it when the car came on just barely but now it's completely dead.
They checked the fuse but the fuse is fine.
Sam checked the engine with Carb spray and it turned over just fine. Oil and coolant is fine as well.

so I have to get it towed to GTM tomorrow, that sucks but at least it's nothing major and I hope this can get fixed easily. Sucky, brand new fuel pump...

I was about to take a trip to vegas this coming week in my car, thank god this happened here and not on my way there...well, I got fly now

Thank you Sam, I really appreciate you coming all the way out here to help out!!!

from the new APS Extreme Fuel kit. We don't know yet if the pump broke or if it's an electrical issue, mostlikely it's the pump though

yep, Sam rocks.

Once I get my car back I'm definetely up for Irwindale, however if I hook up they'll kick me out since I still don't have the cage installed.

Save the all out high boost run for your last run or just let off in third to practice launching before you cross the line. I know it's hard not to when you know you have 600hp. The muscle car guys do that all the time in San Diego since they can't go faster than 6 @qualcomm. They always let off so that their times are in between 6 and 7.

I wonder if the dual pumps are drawing too much current from that tiny little battery and blowing a fuse somehow....
