new best mph for pumpkin
 

Pumpkin runs quickest mph 164.67 if the car only came out of the hole it woulda been best e.t.!! 8.94 but if it had lunched and woke up before 330 prolly woulda went 8.60!

nice job Jackalope!

Good MPH. congraluations, is this the fastest MPH ? Jr

:eek: Congrats Jack ... Was thinking about you guys down there.. Hope everyone did well !

Waaaahoooo..... Brian did the driving this weekend, he did a fabulous job, on a tough weekend with lots of head and crosswinds. Also, it was his first runs in the Pumpkin since his license runs.. In any event, I had a plan and things worked out well. Brians 1st run was going to be a launch, 1-2 shift and shut it down to check the recorded program.. didn't quite work out as he laid down the rubber on the launch, spinning hard and doin the dance.. but he handled it like a pro, lifted, got it straight, nailed it and hooked it for a good recording. I checked things out made a few tweaks and on the next run we made some adjustments to the Innovative boost controller, ramped in the boost and set up 3 stages of boost for the first 3 seconds, worked great, the car hooked pretty good, went about 300 ft and disappeared in a hurry bringing home Brian's 1st 8 second pass with a new MPH high of 157.67 for the pumpkin. The next morning I told Brian to get ready, I feel good about turning up the boost, so we made some adjustments to the program, reworked the 3 stages of boost and off he went. Well... we missed the launch, came out short on the boost, it was a slug for the 1st 2-300ft then it was gone like it was shot out of a cannon.... 8.94 @ 164.27... WHAT!!! I won't go into the shock and disbelief.... but it all added up when I saw the time slip. Almost 129mph in the 1\8th, even after leaving the line like a slug, so you can imagine what it looked like when the boost hit. To sum it up, I'm happy for the Pumpkin but most proud of my son Brian for a terrific job at the wheel!!!

Fantastic job Brian and Jack! I was watching the pass from mid track and the Pumpkin was really bringing home the bacon!!!

Thanks guys... and Bob... thanks for being there, it was a blast. Was thinking about your car on the way home... got's some ideas.. we'll be talkin..
