Went to Kilkare yesterday with my buddy Walt to work on some personal bests. His first run of the day was a 10.54@129mph with a 1.54 60ft. This
is with a 8.8 CR Arrington 426 with a Kenne Bell blower with 15lbs of boost. All he did was throw on his 17" Hoosiers and let it rip. After his first pass I got behind the wheel and made 3 passes. I had 2 passes with 1.5x 60's but let off at the 1/8th. Slicks just feel different than I'm used to and I wasn't trying to put his car into the wall. What a rush to leave the line in a 773whp beast! Plans are to put skinnies up front to replace the 20" Vipers and try to work on the launch RPM's. Here's the video I made of his 10.54 pass. The DA was 1700 but it was a great day.

Balls the size of cantelopes to drive as you did I bet, snow.
Balls the size of watermelons to drive it to the mat! Next time, man.
The car looks deceptively quick in the video!

Way to go Ben but if you need big balls you have to just go for it and let it happen "no fear the slicks will hold you just need to relax and enjoy the ride :thumbsup:

X2!!!!!!! I have to admit though, that racing someone elses car is got to be alittle nerve racking, cause the last thing you want to do is break something or wreck it.

I think it's all mental. Next time I taping my hands to the wheel and a brick to my foot.
