I just saw this come up on my Facebook Hot Rod magazine page. Pretty sure it's Hemirunner's car

That's us. This is our vacation this year. Fresh combo with the 526 Hemi and pump gas. First pass with zero tuning was a lazy 11.03 at 129mph. This pig is heavy and the converter was built for nitrous so I'm not sure how much faster I can go without turning on the bottle. Rick P. is here with Dave Dudek in Dave's old FAST car that Rick now owns. Lot's of cool mopars here.
 
I saw the video of Lutz's 6.05 last night in his "ProMod Streetcar" lol! That unlimited class is nuts but I guess that's what you have to do to win and those are the kind of things that bring attention!
 
Watched the live feed during classes today, its always cool to see those crazy cars putting down killer times!
 
I'm watching the rundown of day 1 now. Love the whole concept of Drag Week and there are some seriously baddass cars there!

Ran a 10.91 the first day in St. Louis, a 10.94 the second day in Indy and a weak 11.66 today at the Grove because I left the overdrive engaged lol. Hopefully I can redeem myself at Cordova tomorrow.

Car scaled at 4190 and I trapped 129.4mph. It's making some steam.

I saw your pass yesterday at GLD. A lot of nice cars and trucks was a great time. Man those guys from Canada in the flat black Dart are fast. 7.70 @ 185 and leading their class.

Is that 4190 just car, or with you in it too?
 
4190 with me in it. Carbs are good. Late on third gear and it hit the rev limiter today and it didn't like it. Either grabbed a rod bearing or stuck a wrist pin. Don't know yet but it's hurt. Had to drop out and haul it home.

That sucks and sorry to hear it! At least you did get to take part this year though and put that heavy bird through some good times! Next year have that Superbird ready! lol
 
That does suck, sorry for your loss.
Been watching the live feeds but yesterday it was messed up and missed it.
Sure like the Dart in the heavy metal class. 7.70@185.
 
I saw on either Roadkill's or Frieburger's facebook page that the black Dart lunched its Turbo 400 trans. Hopefully they got it fixed. I've been watching replays of the live feed every night after work.
 
I hope not. Heard during the live feed from WI that someone in the the pits was looking to T400 parts, Frieburger thought it might be the Dart but wasn't sure.

Sorry to hear that about the engine. I was hoping that weight was just car then I wouldn't feel so bad. I'm 4350-4400 with me in it. Laps yacht I run LOL.
