Well guys been out racing a few times now, but due to lack of time and such I haven't been out every race and not doing the best in points, but I have to post that I've broken a couple of my own ET and MPH records with the SRX this morning during time trials here at Gimli Motorsports Park. The 37kms winds gusting to 47kms helped quite a bit here. Anyway here is my 1st run with my best mph and my 4th run of the day with my best ET. Hooked like a bear out of the hole.

1st time run - SRX - Left lane
Reaction time .4958
1.4243 60'
4.1122 330'
6.4432 1/8th Mile
104.43 1/8th MPH
10.3014 1/4 ET
128.79 1/4 MPH

4th time run - SRX - Left lane
Reaction time .4958
134.39 60'
4.0068 330'
6.3448 1/8th Mile
101.64 1/8th MPH
10.2468 1/4 ET
119.45 1/4 MPH

So what dial time to pick, 2nd run ET was 10.9599, 3rd run lights mess up and I didn't get an ET but it would have been around 10.27 or 28? Well we'll see how we do.........

Nice job Don.

Thanks Matt,
Update,,,, messed up with posted reaction time on the 4th run, it was .5720 and not .4958. My best reaction was a .5048 which would have put me into 2nd place for the ladder qualifying but something got messed up at the tower and we ended up not running a ladder. I lucked out and got a bye the first round, here is what I dialed and ran,,,

Elimination #1 - SRX - Left lane
Dialed 10.28
Reaction time .5409
1.4368 60' (poor hook up)
4.1071 330'
6.0029 1/8th Mile
104.36 1/8th MPH
10.2971 1/4 ET
128.62 1/4 MPH

Elimination #2 - SRX - Left lane, 35 min. later (Wanted this lane as I figured it would run the same 60’ and et’s)
Dialed 10.29
Reaction time .5367 to a .5259 for the opponent, beat me by .0108 here
1.4101 60' (pretty much the same as the last run)
4.0991 330'
6.4342 1/8th Mile (This is where the change starts)
106.17 1/8th MPH
10.3533 1/4 ET
126.33 1/4 MPH

Opponent’s dial was 9.82 and he was also over with a 9.88 and beat me at the finish line by .0141, I was off my dial by .0633 and he was off by .0600 and I don’t think he let off as his speed was 141.48. So it was a close one. I think the air must have changed as the 60’ and everything at the start was good and we were both off our dials. I don’t mind losing to a race like that as it’s very close and competitive. The only problem at this rate it’s going to be difficult to catch up to my buddy who was in second place last race weekend.

Just playing around with gearing and trying to get the sled to run straight. We have yet to make a full pass. More modifications and back to the track.

Nice job mahaman, those are some very good times. You should head out to the Pro Sled shootout out in NY. That 8.42 pass would put you in the $.

Out testing yesterday, S/C apex running 8#'s of boost

Rob Fuller ran his OSP Yamaha at Milan on Friday - ran a 7.83 at 175 MPH and backed it up with a 7.87.

videos of OSP/Rob Fullers 7.83 and 7.87

If you asked me if we would have been into the 7s this year after the frist few times out I would have told you NO! this is a whole new game, we are used to having traction (woodys studs) the power of our sleds are just about out of control so put that together with no traction and things dont look good... but Rob is one helll of a driver and was able to keep it on the track while we smoothed out the power with our BS3 engine controler. the way this sled is now I see 7.6 or better real soon...this sled is incredible and I know Rob is very happy costomer... OSP can get you the results you want....



Take a ride with Rob at 175mph
