That’s the first time
I’ve seen that orange car
Race.

Usually it just runs solo passes.

Great entertainment
Car has competed many times including yesterday at my Home track MoKan Drag Strip in the 6.50 index. Where I got KILLED. So, you have a Demon 170 and you bracket race it? I don't reccomend this car if you are serious about competing with it. It's challenging to say the least. The most fun is running Private rentals where the track is set on Kill and the car can shine and you can learn things.

If I was driving the car likely would have gone 9.00 give or take a few hundredths. I think It has gone 8.94 @ +900 feet. On this day the DA was +1367 feet when they ran and the car was ready. Unfortunately Herman blamed everything on me and the car setup. The thing is he posted a Video and I can clearly see what was done wrong. I had a hunch because the car would not do a static burnout (which was abusive and hard to watch) and the car did not do much of a Wheelie. The car SHOULD have done a huge Wheelie and so he blew it becauce that would have made some great Video. Even better than the second run. If you freeze and blow up the "in the car Video", you can CLEARLY see that he had the Launch Control enabled when he was trying to do his burnout. That is why the car would not do a burnout and had Stalled. When he restarted it, he forgot to put it in DRAG drive mode. So, yes it was laying over on the shifts, but still managed 149 MPH. If in DRAG mode it likely would have got over 150. What a mess..........
Ron,

Thanks for the explanation/clarification. I know you did Herman a solid by letting him drive, but Herman sold his 170 months ago and his timeslips show that he was rusty. I was hoping you would take over on the 2nd pass but that probably was never going to happen.
