Tim did a respectable 4.5 sec 60-130 MPH on a non dedicated run during his Texas mile pull.

Will upload some more videos later.

I've said it before, but MAN tim's car is a beast! There are a bunch of mile shootout events here in TX, I need to make my way to one of them and see how much slower my car is.

Oh BTW, I heard that once you take those wheels above 220 they're no good anymore... so you should just go ahead and drop them off at my place on the way back so I can... dispose of them for you. =D

Well today the first pass was a 227.1 missing 3rd again. Second pass was a 226 missing 6th. 3rd pass was looking the like the fastest but was aborted just after 1/4 mile due to an electrical issue. We fixed that and are hoping that weather will hold out tomorrow to try and get a clean pass in.

Still the fastest participant in the event. I believe next fastest is a turbo Busa with 218mph.

Here is the 227 video that I took...

rear tires moved about 1-1.5" from their original mounting point. (you can tell by the dots on the tires at the beginning of video).
240 today.

if the wheel is balanced by tape weights not that big of a factor as your just balancing the opposite side of valve stem. now if the tire has a bad spot thats diffferent. the cars at tk2k14 were moving the tires 1/4 rotation on the hit at 65mph

Thank you for the support guys! It is a win but it is a win by default. We where bucking 20-30 mph winds Friday and Saturday and I did not have one clean pass. We have some sick in car video vbox footage that you can see how bad a missed shift or a 4-5-4 shift

sets you back..
