That doesn't look like 214. He never pulls on Rado at all from the start

 

im also skeptical

i would like to see side by side incrementals of the run

 

its legit. i dont know the exact #s but they made a hard top end charge on or around the 1000'. wasnt it backed up that weekend anyway? that car is going to do some damage on the right track.

thats because he only went 212 in that pass. The 212 was after the 214 I thought.

 

The 214 is totally legit. Gary ended up setting the back-half world record on that pass. That record stood for almost three years till Gary ran that run. You the man Gary! Your dad told me though it was'nt good enough. He wanted you to run 220. Hehehehhehe

Its not crazy at all. Turbo street cars back half about 39 to 40 mph, hell maybe more this year . Gary's mph was 59.37 from the 1/8 to the 1/4 on the 214 .66 pass . I think Gary is making more hp power !

 

i think gardella added an extra can of red bull at acto.

try it out and see if redbull can give you wings. lol

Thank you for understanding horsepower verse mile an hour. Plain and simple the car went 214 in the left lane. Then came back out the very next round and 212 in the right lane. Fluke i don't think so.

 

No Problem! Some people are either haters or just don't understand what is possible with HP !

i know thier secret: MOOSE POWAAAAA!!!!! you tha man mike!

Like you know anything about drag racing Mike. Gyeah right.

 

Just watching the vid you can see him start to pull up mid track and then just let the legs out on the back end!

That kind of back end power will net you higher MPH at a higher ET.

Looks totally legit to me and the numbers back it up!

Nice run 4 sure!

 

rados car ran the first half of the track great. I think he has it setup perfect. now all he needs to do is get the car to run up top after the 8th mile mark. either turn up the boost or play with the gearing up top. his 60ft was great and the 330. look out everyone if he gets this car figured out. can you say sub 7.20's

 

Just wait till we get are 4.73 to the 1/8th back.

 

WOW, THATS VERY NICE

 

7.10@214?

 

Yeah something like that. I think after a couple more test 7.0s will be acheivable. Hopefully the mile an hour will come back down if were not as slow thru the front half.

 

lets see a 6 today
