Lincoln FTW

I was surfing car porn on YouTube and happened to run across this classic from last fall at the SuperCoupe Shootout in Xenia, OH... :drunk:

For the record, that was the finals of the bracket series for the day and the Blue Flame victoriously pulled into the pits with a flat tire after that final run.

how many runs did that driveline have before you retired that setup?

Love how you caught up to him, hell of a run. He broke out too.

Technically, it's not yet retired as it's still in the car. The latest ETA on the new shortblock is the end of the month.

2004 - 96
2005 - 46
2006 - 69
2007 - 68
2008 - 107
2009 - 32
2010 - 58+

Over 476...

Last year's records are split on 2 different PCs, likely over 100 runs in 2010, so that would put it over 500. (The car was down a good part of the '09 season getting heads and cams done.)

Then there are likely a couple hundred more runs at the local Flashlight Drags - a non-timed, heads-up 1/8 mile drag racing venue.

I cant wait to see this car when it's done....

Does anyone have a more consistent reaction time as you? Besides practice what is your key to your launch?

Thanks, I'm getting awfully antsy myself. LOL

As with most performance shops however, schedules get pushed this time of the year. When one project takes longer than normal, everything else falls further behind. I guess I would rather have that issue than a mass produced smallblock though.

LOL, I have lost my share of races at the tree.

Consistency in every move from the staging lanes to the tree helps. I also try to ignore the other lane.

WOW!!!! That is one bad@$$ Mark.

looks like all you need is a better tires to really move out
