My blurp from NLOC~

Gary's first pass down the track was none the less badass and a successful one ... especially considering it was the trucks first pass and it made it all the way down! :cool:

8.57 @ 154

There is plenty of room for more ... not to mention it appeared to me that John rolled into the throttle on the initial launch and finally let into her (partially) around 200' or so. 2 more days to play around should prove some new grounds! Good luck to Gary, John (driver), and the rest of the crew who have labored day in and day out for several months now. The final piece is truly spectacular and the truck is beautiful!

EDIT~

Please excuse the not so good camera phone quality video footage but here it is...

The driver (whom also built the engine and has a great deal of craftsmanship/work vested in Gary's truck) has just a tad bit of experience and I am surprised he didn't push it further despite it being a test run so to speak. None the less, it was successful night and a good run! Unfortunately only one pass was made tonight when I think they were trying to shoot for 2-3. Fortunately, they have a couple days of racing ahead of them.

That's taking it to the next level.
When the new car bugs get sorted out, I can see a 7 sec. 200+ mph Lightning in the near future. :thumbsup:

What Tranny is in it? It sounded like a Lenco or Liberty, ect...?

If I missed where it was posted somewhere, sorry.
