1/2 mile racing for highest speed on a 1 mile private airport runway

Bill (Oledoc2u) ran 135mph and Brian (ImportLabSRT) ran a 151mph but blew a radiator hose off on the first run
The second run, the anti freeze that sprayed the engine compartment caused Bryan's Fuse link for the fuel pump to blow ending the runs for him today.
A lot of fast cars ran today with temps in the mid 80's and humid

Went 137 later in the day, but spinning in 1, 2, and for the 1st time....3rd...lol. Got to get some drag radials on there next...making too much power for street tires now. A little disappointing, but had fun.....

Disappointing day indeed, but still fun. The rain on the way home washed away some of the coolant that covered the entire car. Stopped at BestBuy on the way home and was able to drive the car off the trailer
