I just talked to Johnny he is all excited, even though he lifted a head getting into the 9's
He said he ran out of gear around the 1000 foot mark
Looks he will have to go for some lower gears or taller tires to keep that from happening again.

It seems that Johnny is working on the important part of getting his ET down and thats the first 1/8 mile. He can try for more speed on that last 1/8 of a mile but he will also have to have the horsepower to fight the additional aerodynamic drag.
I wan't to know if he felt any G forces on that 9 second run.

well first i gotta say wow ...that smoking
but i have bad news...a friend of mine who was at the race says he witnessed this run...and it was awesome...but apparently he says something broke on that 9 second pass because he actually helped johnny push the truck back to the pits...now this is a trusted friend of mine who was there so i believe him...but hopefully its something minor and not the entire motor that needs replacing
edit: just talked to my friend he says the truck is blowing antifreeze out the tail pipe...so prolly a head gasket
