Default Cartek Single Turbo 9.32 at 150.36

I set a new personal best ET today , not by much , but still a new best . Still running my pump gas tune , as always , car was driven to and from the track(Atco) . I took a little weight out (less fuel, no passenger seat etc) , I'm estimating the car was a little over 3700lbs , or down about 70 lbs from last time . Cartek will be turning the boost up a few lbs in the next week or so . I was real happy with the way the car performed today , I beat the hell out of it , ran a bunch of 9.3's and 9.4's , the car never skipped a beat , the trans was shifting like a dream . Thanks to Cartek , RPM , STS and Neverlift/LEO . I'm proud to say I ran my new best with Leo's memorial sticker on my car , that was for you Leo . R.I.P my friend .

Im glad your other plans were cancelled so you could be here today with your CARTEK family and getting you *** slapped around by a little 346..

But on the real note....... Your car is off the hook!! 150+mph 9.32 with mid 1.4 60ft. on pump gas driving to n from the track. WOW!! You get that 60ft lower you know your in the 8 for sure.

Thanks Chris , The beast will be unleashed soon , it's a bit of a hassle and expensive for me to run higher boost and race gas , with as much street driving as I do . But the weather is here to go after a number , so I will probably buy a drum of C12 and go for it . It would be a lot more practical if I had a truck and trailer to tow it with .

I've been waiting for three years for another Cartek IRS C5 to run quicker than me , I still got you by 5MPH though .

Next rental I'll be running the same amount of boost as you or more , you better go get an F2 son .

Mike, I only watched your runs from way back behind the wall today but the way the car leaves is truly something to watch. Sonnie's car was launching harder and pulling real strong too but once your car was out of the hole it just left, quite badass I must say.
Congrats again to you, Cartek Racing, RPM, STS and of course Leo.

And what exactly is it like driving around in a 150mph trapping pump gas street car, do you like stop at Wawa for coffee or go through fast food drive thrus with it and stuff?

Thanks Edgar , I really can't take any more weight out of it unless I start tearing out the carpet and padding , stereo , speakers , heating/ac ducts etc , and I really don't want to do that .

You know the car will cut a mid-low 1.3x so thats about .2 just in 60' alone.
