Insane! Congrats man, I can only imagine how you feel. Must be awesome!

Can I ask what you are using as far as the rear end goes (aside from the 4L80E)?

Congrats Mike Just got home. Wish I would have stayed, I never thought you where going to hook up on that cold track. A+ for effort. I couldn't believe the one run where you didn't get on it till mid track and went 154.xx MPH

Thanks Jay . That easy shakedown pass was when I knew I was going to have a great day , I did an easy shakedown run and literally took off like I was just cruising away from a light and leaned into it once I hit third gear and still trapped 154 .

Julio , I have huge respect for you as a tuner/engine builder and as a friend , thanks for all you have done for me over the past 8 years , we've had some great times together , it's days like today that make this sometimes frustrating hobby worth it , you are tops in your line of work . I have to say I think today tops the feeling I got when we were the first All-Motor IRS C5 in the nines four years ago . Thanks again to you , Roy , Mike , Julian , Max and Tim . You guys are a great team , and you have big things ahead of you . We have to have a little sit down this winter and see where we want to go from here .

Awesome 60' time considering they are the same tires you came and left with. MPH is great too.

CONGRATS Mike and Cartek!!! I wish I could have been there. I couldn't be happier for you and knew you would hit your goal. What an amazing accomplishment to be able to run 8's in a true street car with an OD trans on radials.

and I think I saw the wheels come off when it shifted 3rd.

That's awesome and you drove there is nucking futs. Very deceiving, as the launch seems soft but then goes like stink!

Yeah , It wiggled pretty good on the 2-3 shift , a lot more than you can see in the video , also if you look at where I start out in the groove and look where I finish up at the end of the track , you can tell the car was dancing around up top , it was fighting me all the way .
