2008 Race Pictures
Track Day - LVD 4/25/08
Best ET: 12.40 @ 109
Car ran 4 straight passes with 60' marks between 1.59 and 1.61 (best last year was 1.62), so the 4.10s appear to be doing the job. The tranny does not want to go into 2nd gear.

Pinks Last Chance Race - E-Town 5/24/08
Best ET: 12.29 @ 110
My dad ran this car in the Last Chance Race for the Pinks All Out in July. He won a few rounds, but came up short in the third round. Car was consistently in the 12.30s. He struggled with 2nd gear just like I had.
Musclepalooza - LVD 5/25/08
Best ET: 12.42 @ 109
Granny shifted 2nd all 3 runs, but the car was like a bracket car. Ran 12.46, 12.42 and 12.61 (on the brakes) in the first round. Lost on a .005 red light (Doh!). The 60'-1000' splits were nearly identical on all three runs. The car pulls the wheels when it dead hooks (see below).
Drag Day - LVD 6/5/08
Best ET: 12.36 @ 109
Very consistent for the second straight time out. Ran 12.36, 12.37 and 12.40 before the gambler's race. Red lit in the first round - and then the car "hiccupped" in 3rd and only went 12.58.

Ford Day - LVD 6/28/08
Best ET: 12.26 @ 109 (brother)
We ran a pro-tree stick-car class. The car would not stay up on the limiter - it kept falling off. I lost in the first round.
Track Day - LVD 7/12/08
Best ET: 12.38 @ 108 (brother)
My brother ran the car. The cold air intake kept pulling apart from the throttle body. The culprit was a pair of busted motor mounts. This most likely caused the problems I had keeping the car on the limiter on 6/28.
Fun Ford Weekend - NED 8/16/08
Best ET: 12.63 @ 107
I ran in the True Street class. Despite the new motor mounts, torque link, MSD and two-step, I struggled getting through the gears and could only muster a 12.6.
Fun Ford Weekend - NED 8/17/08
Best ET: 12.43 @ 109
Eliminations in the True Street bracket class. I dialed in a 12.55. I won four rounds and ended up losing in the semifinals when I red-lit and ran 12.43.
Drag Day - LVD 9/19/08
Best ET: 12.28 @ 109
Huge burnouts and consistent passes (12.28-12.32 @ 109-110). Powershifted a little more. The radiator popped coming out of my burnout on the 4th pass and I was on the trailer. See the 2:26 mark of the following link for my 12.28 pass (no, I am not running nitrous).

Tasca Day - NED 10/5/08
Best ET: 12.27 @ 110
Lost in the first round of the Stock class to a 12.26. He treed the piss out of me (.125 to .293).

12.24 @ 110
12.21 @ 110
