Just got back home last night from a long 12 hour trip to Las Vegas for another BOTI event. I ended up winning this event making it my 4th pro event win this season, I had 3 pro event wins in a row, ran into some broken parts at the BOTI event in Seattle. Put a shep t-case in the car along with a 3.5" DSS driveshaft, and DSS rear axles and headed out to vegas for the BOTI event over there.

1st pass of the day and taking it easy I ran a 9.45 @154mph
2nd pass of the day I cut my best 60ft ever with a 1.38 60ft. was on a good solid pass till my damn foot sliped off the gas pedal on the 3-4 shift (fire shoes were slippery as hell) ended up running a 9.31 @144mph.

3rd pass of the day I cut a 1.47 60ft. and ran a 9.26 @156mph
4th pass of the day I cut a 1.39 60ft. and got locked out of 4th gear so I just threw it in neutral and coasted through at 9.41 @125mph.

5th pass of the day in the finals and for the win I ran this

60ft. 1.401
330. 4.001
1/8 5.996
MPH 126.02
1000 7.694
1/4 9.119
MPH 159.00

Here is the incar video of the 9.11 pass.

That very impressive Jake. Your inching you way to the 8 second barrier. All up untill now you've been doing this on a stock suspension besides the shep stage 4, thats whats crazy!

Thanks man, but it's not on stock suspension anymore, I changed the suspension out before this season started, just basic setup, GC coil overs and KYB AGX's.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I also want to add I still drive the turd on the street!:D Still has the heater, full dash, carpet, working head lights, tail lights, blinkers ect. ect. Car still weighs in at 2950lbs with me in it.

I turn the heater on full blast to help cool the car down quicker as the rounds were going pretty quick. And it was 100 degrees in vegas, so it would get alittle warm on the return road.
