Default 11.7 @ 116 Mph 8/27/03 New Record

Well again i would like to thank all of the members that came to support the effort andrew rubio put forth last night.

after a few nos misfires, and a blistering 12.00 run with the front tire going FLAT, we got one more chance before they close for the night.

everything seamed right, even the Planet MARS was closeing in the see if we could better our 11.99. run in July before the addition of the clutch and new UR lightweight Flywheel.

after adding the line locks the burn out was amazing, hot sticky slicks rolled to the line, great launch, a 1.62 60 foot ( tied for our best of the night) nos wide open, car screaming down the track, i took my eye off the camera for a second to see the lights flash

11.7 @ 116 MPH andrew drove the hell out of it, the nos bottle had run out, we thought we could get in one more with a fresh bottle, but not this night.

video comming soon, thanks for the pics and again RUBIO ROCKS...

is there any reason why you (bluefish) take the car all the way to jersey, just to test it.. englishtown is'nt that great of a track( unless their having a meet there, then they clean and coat the track).. especially when you start to make decent power with the car.. why drive 21/2 hrs when you can drive 25 minutes for the same results? jay

I can not get enough of the Varrazzano Bridge
We just feel better driving 2.5 hours before hand
