Just got word that my bud Nuno aka Thunder Struck ripped off an 11.94 and 11.95 @ 113 MPH at FFW Richmond. Impressive times for a 57k stock block, daily abused Lightning!!!! Most Gen 2 L's have been off due to weather and track prep. Nuno's best 60' on Hoosiers was 1.74 which is a full .1 second off his usual times. Oh well, not bad for a stock block, eh? Many others with built motors are scratching their noggins.

Why are they scratchin their noggins? Ive see high 11s on the tracks out here with Ls with stock blocks several times. Nothing new.

 

Exactly his point.........

He means guys with built motors still running low 12's........

High heat + high humidity + sucky track = bad ET's. Plus they are not running downhill like at Cecil! LOL. Many are chasing mechanical gremlins. I'm sure others will post soon. Wish I had been able to make it and blast off some good ET's. Nuff said.

Good job Nuno, those are good numbers for running in the heat. I have got down to 11.84 but that was back in March, remember, I let you borrow my Prestone Jump Start when your battery decided to cry Uncle. I hope to improve this Fall when I put one of those KB blowers on like you've got, John H.

 

Oh im sorry, 11.0's out here

 

Well, I've seen high ten's here on the Right Coast, but we've got the "good gas" and the "good air", so I guess that doesn't count.

 

Hey Johnny,

I will agree we have the good gas, but I can't remember the last time I took a breath of good air. We do also have Atco, which hooks pretty well.

 

Great News BTJ
CONGRATS Thunder Struck
Thats an AWESOME ET, especially for the heat they're running in

 

Man 11s would be nice. Maybe some day....

 

Congrats...

That is awesome. Hope to see 10's in your future one day. Good luck.
