Sub 10.64 1/4 mile grudge racer VIII

[KStromberg]

There is apparently a Mark8 that is in Greenville S.C. that runs quicker than BurbankLSC did. Does anyone know about this car or if there is video or talk about it? He is a grudge racer so he won't disclose his times.

This is supposed to be the car. I was told this was on DRs with 3 passengers.

it isn't hard to go fast. it's just expensive. given enough time and money...
and hell. Don's car is 11s on the stock block still.
forged, more boost, an IRS that will take the launch, and tires to get going, man who knows.

He got booted off the forums I guess for wanting to try to race everybody. He is adamant about his car being the fastest as stated in the comments on one of Burbank's vids. I just wish there was a good video with a good pass out there. The video above doesn't seem all that impressive I guess until you realize he was spinning that hard with 3 passengers and sticky tires. Sounds like he has 3rd gear spun all the way out too which would indicate about 130mph.

Remember Robert P from TCCOA. I posted a video of when I ran him in 2011. It was the first time he ran in the 10's. He posted a new video of his first run in the 9's. THEN Supercharged Mark VIII Vs Supercharged Thunderbird - YouTube NOW World's Fastest 4.6 Thunderbird - 9.98 in the 1/4 - HD Video - YouTube

That is Rock's car. His exhaust was made by the same person that made my exhaust. I have seen that car on the lift, and it is a very clean southern car.

Greenville's not too far away from me. I'd sure like to see that car!

Kirk, That video was taken at a 1/8 mile track. Last I heard, Rock had 410's in that car. He ran it out to about 7k in 2nd and hit the limiter. Been there and done that He needs to go into 3rd and cross the line for a better time.

I've posted that video like 4 times on here before and nobody said anything about it?? I asked him about it in the comments section and he was pretty vague and cocky about it..but it sure won't run 10s spinning that much off the line. He's got a trans brake on it by the sound of it, but if he ever want to hook it up those low profile drag radials are gonna have to go.

Yep, That car has had a bunch of stuff done to it.

Here is a link to a thread when Dennis first built the car back in the day...
