Gardella Racing joins the 8.50's club...
We packed up and decided to go testing at the IDRC Maple Grove event.
First shot off the trailer we backed up our personal best of an 8.65 @ 165, and then tweaked a few things while battling stupid blown trannies and pulled off an 8.55 @ 171.
We were on our way to backing it up, according to our data, but had some small issues up on top end which prevented it. Rest assure they're addressed and taken care of for Englishtown this coming weekend.
Congratulations to Vinny Ten, Ron Sudol, Paul from MSP,Sav, Chris Rado, and John Shepard....
all hauling *** this weekend.

i think it may be safe to say that gardella is backing it. i didnt take notice to any major sponsors on it, when i seen it at englishtown on wednesday.
nice work with the 8.55

Re: Gardella Racing joins the 8.50's club... (bangin'gearz)
the car uses a timer based boost controller and the whole system, wastegates and boost controller are fed co2
the car went an 8.81 on the last pass, it didn't break the tranny, a switch went bad which activated the 2-step. the car did 8.81 at 144mph, and was at 139mph in the 1/8 pretty crazy huh
