Default Redgar & the Sled runs new PB!

I just got off the phone with Redgar.

I am sorry to admit, he beat my time, in his car, from Memphis.

He went to Raceway Park tonight and ran a 10.274 @ 130.02 with a 1.372 short time!

He attributes this Personal Best performance to his Vette Doctors 402 and his new Rev-Xtreme / FTI Competition Converter.

Congrats Redgar!

(Next time I drive that car, I am going to crush that record of yours!)

That's great!

Nice to see you get some good #s after all the problems you've had this year.

Thanks for posting Steve. I have been having trouble since getting back from Memphis but the last pass of the night, it wall worked. After sitting there watching a car break two cars ahead of me I was a little worried.

Car left great I knew it was hooked when I felt the thud of the wheels come back down. Looked up to see the 1.37 on the board....awesome.

As Tracy said, this converter rocks. Best pass thus far this year was a 10.46 in similar DA to today early in the season. It is worth the call to Tracy to check out this converter.

Big thanks to Carmen and Dennis for keeping me rolling and Tracy for getting me rolling..now where is that catch can?

On another note, I had to swap my vararam foam filter for a K&N as the foamy was falling apart. I think I lost some top end because of it. Any one have a foamy they want to part with they might have stashed when you got your vararam some years back? They don't have them anymore?
