But Im just one man talking Good Luck
I have no reason to lie about a stupid time. I am more mature than that. I have been a great member on here and never bs about anything. I am straight forward and truthful. There r 2 sets of numbers on my graph. With and without belts. My 20 extra torque and weight help. You can hear I let out before my times post and tapped on breaks. Prez06 was in other lane and let out so he could watch me run. He was a witness to my run. And the whacked out slip was bc the track tore I in half. My slip and video match mph and time. Prez06 has other side of the slip and I will get itfrom him and I will have a full slip. And my shifty sounded better and was faster.I know I didn't break it yet but hopefully I will Sunday. You call bs all u want but my slip and video match. And video is proof that is my car and me. And I had other witnesses there including louis from LG himself. You can call and ask him. Fell free. And I have offered anyone to look over my car. If I am hiding somehing I'll pay to look at it. If there is nothing you pay to have it looked at. You pick any shop in dfw area and I'll gothere. Your choice. But thanks for the good luck.

Andrews car doesnt have nitrous. Im staring at the nitrous bottle on my desk. I tune the car, dyno the car, work on the car. He drives it.

I was there, and I saw the run. If you will not take MY word for it, then maybe Frans customer IS spraying?

Good ole saying- Im cheating and you are going faster than me, therefore you are cheating

The car is what it is, all motor, 530 rwhp. It should run low 10s, high 9s for the power its making, it just isnt 60' like it needs to

LOLAnother thing about frans car is it has z51 gearing, so that helps his 60, but hurts his 330 b/c he's having to make 2 shifts...your car makes 100rwhp than mine and traps ~10mph faster in the 1/4 on the same tires, so it makes sense in my books. Mine weighed 2970 w/o me the other day...I know you got a cage, but what's yours again?

here are pics i took the other day that i do not have nitrous and my car is capable of high 1/8 mph on different tracks and my car will trap 131-133 depending if i can get my car down the track with a good launch, not having to get out of it, and not hitting the rev limiter. i think i have solved the launching by more practice and solved hitting the limiter b/c i raised it by 200 rpm. my car has had the 1/8 and 1/4 mph in it i just haven't been able to launch with my old crappy clutch and haven't learned my new clutch till this weekend to actually put down a good number. so i have been very incosistent with my launching which leads to incosistent times. sometimes i wish i had an auto. haha. here is my offer is if anyone wants to take me up on it to look over my car. i am off thursdays. you can name the shop or any friends y'all have in the dallas fort worth area to look at my car on thursday for nitrous or whatever else people think i am hiding. they can look it all over. don't tell me where to go until thursday. call me at 214 681 1270 or shoot me an email an hour before where i should go. if they find nitrous i pay for them to look at it. if they don't find any b/c there isn't any there to begin with, then y'all pay for having it looked at. i have nothing to hide. i am willing to share any of this info with anyone about my car unlike others who like to hide race weight, mods, dyno numbers, etc. it just boils my blood when i know i am telling the truth about my car and someone calls bs.

you can reach me at dsp_300c@yahoo.com or text me at the number above. much easier than posting here if you have someone that wants to look my car over


my new dyno sheet with the new clutch


these are my 3 half slips from the track on dec 13th. i am car #25. the 2 left lane passes were with me peddling it a little trying to get my car back over from the box timers in the middle of the lane. 1st slip i spun off the line. 2nd slip i bogged. 3rd slip was my good pass except for when my car clunked and i got of it b/t the 1000' and 1320'. you can call dallas raceway and ask them if they shut down the track to 1/8 mile b/c of problems with the lanes. here is there number 9724742600. go to www.dallasraceway.com look at their schedule on oct 23 2009. they shut down the track b/c water was coming up through the track!!!!!!! same thing happend this sunday.




Next 3 images are my 1/8 track times at a different track on 12-5-09. Car #307. On a few of these passes I hit my rev limiter which was set at 6900. That is why i posted on a thread here that i raised my limiter up to 7100 so i could avoid this on my 12-13-09 track day.




Here is a slip my 1st track day with the new clutch at yet a 3rd different track. I also hit the rev limiter here at 6900. Bc of this pass and the 1/8 miles passes above it made me change my limiter for my times i ran on the 13th of Dec.


Here is some 1/8 mph on my old Mcleod clutch on Nov 8 and Oct 30.



i even have a slip from houston on 1-25-2009 where i hit 102.25 in the 1/8 also if you want to see it.

here are pics of my car where there is no nitrous. anthony and louis still have my used bottle i bought months ago still at their shop sitting there b/c they were going to send it off for nano valve but they never got to my car. my car still has all my drag setup in the hatch and passenger seat. no room for nitrous. plus my stand alone fuel cell is in my closet as you can see. and my bracket and unopened switch panel is in my garage.















my race weight without me in the car


like i said i have nothing to hide. that pass i made was just a damn good pass finally with my new clutch. if anyone has questions let me know. i am open and truthful about everything

I never said his car has Nitrous. I have no dog in this fight. your customer didnt go faster than Frans customer so your saying is useless.
Thats a funky time slip, evidently Im not the only one who thinks so.
Ive been doing this for a long time. It doesnt add up, Weather you want to admit it or not.103 in the 1/8 should be around 138, not 123.
This is why I never got into the fast list crap, too many shady things
going on. The other thing I cant understand is if there was water on the track why would he or anyone for that matter hit the brakes???
Thats the worst thing you could do. How did the track even open with water on it? First time I ever heard that one. Here is another good question why do all the videos of his car show the car and the tower except the 10.67 at 123? The camera looks at the tower when he is hitting the brakes? I said my peace

Hit the brakes bc I heard clunking from my rear. So I tapped the brakes. 30 min later after multiple people complained then they told us water was coming up. Then they shut it down to 1/8 mile only and soon after shut it down for the day. If I would have known that I wouldn't have tapped on brakes. Yes the were drying off the track till almost 2:30pm even though they should have been open at noon. The parking lot had water puddles. Prez06 can confirm all this bc he was there.

Let me start off by clarifying that I do believe you/believe your set up and do not think that you've used nitrous for any of these passes and I commend your willingness to proof it as well.

But I am still curious as to how showing someone what a car looks like on a Thursday in a parking lot proves anything about what was on (or what was not on) the car last weekend or even this Sunday.
The only way that kind of proof can be validated of course is to make a pass (in the mid to high 10s range at near/over 130mph) at the actual track AND THEN have the unbiased party inspect the car immediately following said pass.
Again, not that any of that is even needed as it's very easily possible/probable that your car is truly NA.

It's funny I almost thought about taking a picture of the parking lot because there was so much standing water from the rain that night before. It took them 2 xtra hours to dry the track, b/c humidity was ~98%. They got it dried, but apparently the track has a drainage problem as seeing they have previously shut down for this too. Sorry I had to bring the party to an end, but had to say something to the track official b/c I didn't wanna see anybody loose it on the topend and hit the wall...I'd save your breath for Sun, because I'm sure there will be only more questions Hope you're visualizing the launch and shifts, so you can nail them! Btw I hate to say it but I don't see your car picking up 35mph on the back half (like someone above said it should, unless maybe you're sprayin haha) and trapping 138mph NA

Yea. No way i can gain 35 on back half. I usually do 100-103 in the 1/8. Then I back half 29-31 depending on weather, launch, and shifts. Don't want to jinx myself for Sunday and try to overthink it all and run like crap. Going to relax and clear my head tonight after the Cowboy game. See you tomorrow. Brin that other half o the slip that is in your wallet.

You obviously do not understand, nor realize much about dragracing. A top fuel car will barely gain 35 mph on the backhalf

There is fran. 900 rwhp Z06. Fastest C6 in the country, only backhalfing 32 mph
