Since Terry was running the event he was pretty busy and I didn't get a chance to talk to him about the car. I can tell you that it was an automatic car with headers, possibly an aftermarket exhaust, an aftermarket intercooler and maybe an aftermarket air induction system. I'm not sure what else was done to it. It was also racing on drag radials. The kid can drive so I doubt if he had the traction control on. I've seen him run 8.60's on a marginal track with their COPO so it's not like he doesn't know what he's doing.

Overheard him talking with someone. He said it had head work, cam, different blower pulleys, along with a updated computer program. It was going through the traps in third gear (out of six) at 146 to 147 mph. The 9.42 wasn't a fluke either. It ran a 9.42 on Friday when it was cooler, and then another 9.42 on Saturday.

For what it's worth, that thing is running on out-of-the-pump E85 too. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Talked to Terry and Jordan today.

The transmission in the Corvette is actually a four speed automatic.

My screw up.
