I'm going way off the chart, after reading of all Jay's setbacks and still making the program, I'm guessing there is more in the tune and driver technique. 8.48, I like the number and actually hope he bests it. I think that depending on track and weather conditions his ets will steadily improve.
Jay deserves a title way above Hero!

I think Jay will have to knock a few tenths off that 8.91 in order to hold off that Nova in his class.  It's a stout combo, despite being powered by an orange lump!

A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.

Lots of heavy hitters in Drag Week these days, that's for sure. But that Nova has to finish, and that ain't always easy :)

Jays engine has been dynoed plenty, so there probably isn't much left there unless the air is good, which it should be this week. Calling for upper 70's with low dewpoints, and engines love that, especially if he can get his runs in early while it's still cool. Any ET improvements will have to come from the transbrake and really good traction, which looked pretty darned good today. Of course a good 4 speed would probably help ;D

I just looked at the results on Hot Rod's website, and the Nova is just a little over a tenth behind me.  Should be a great race, assuming my car lasts  ::)

Along with the 9.06 that the Nova ran, that's going to make a REALLY close finish at the end of the day, assuming neither runs quicker yet today.

According to my math, that gives Jay a .05 lead as of right now. that is CLOSE. I'm guessing he'll take that and move on. I know I would.

Yikes, had to shut it down on two runs after the 9.11 pass.
I can't watch with sound so don't know what's up.

Jay made 2 passes where it looked like engine quit.

Just made pass 8.94 @ 150!

NICE!

Whew that's a relief.
Wonder what happened on those two middle runs?

I watched the first 2 runs and I appeared to be traction/poor track conditions that slowed him. Many of the faster cars struggled 1st and 2nd runs. Jim
