this guy in the trail blazer is a good freind ,,we use to race PT cruisers and now he has the truck and i have a srt-6 this was his fastest run to date, if i am going to get beat i rather it be this way, I ran a 12.8 and let off , as pete wat 2 miles in front of me.

pete posted on the trailblazer forum:
The guy in the srt6 is a good friend of mine who has been racing since AMX 's came out. He was actually a sponsored driver for their vehicles and has owned over 300 of them at different times in his life.. He has run a pb of I believe a 12.4 with that srt6 and he has only put a pulley and tune on it so far, but is in the process of further modding it... He was actually testing out a posi rear end called a "phantom grip" that was installed the day before as a test unit in his unique car by the manufacturers here in FL. Those cars can be pretty quick when modded up a bit.. When he ran me he said by the 1000' ft mark he backed out of it cuz he said why waste the gas!!lol...

I went to the track last night and my 60' went down, as i had a phantom grip installed before i was running 1.89 to 1.90 60' after the phantom grip i was 1.83 =1.84 3 out of 4 runs.,, it rained from 6 to 6:30 pm we just sat in the cars waiting, then they started to dry the track,, at 8:08 i got my first run and the track was still wet and i still matched my 60' form before, but then i noticed i was running 1.84 for my 60" the thing (phantom grip really works. I am working on a group buy for the phantom grip if any of you are interested, here are my time slips from last night,

I can tell you this,my 60" was 1.89 to 1.90 last week (cooler weather) yet after the P.G. i ran 1.83 to 1.84 ,,,the 1.89's was in 51 degree weather, yet last night was 64 degrees,, hre is the time slip with mein the SRT and pete in the Trail Blazer.
