"tigerhonaker" races at the 2012 NMRA World Finals Oct. 4-5-6-7th

[tigerhonaker]

Hi Car Guys,

I have not been on AA for a few weeks now.

The reason is I have been back to Brenspeed in Pierceton, IN.
Had Brent White, (Brenspeed Owner) install a New 93-Octane Race-Tune in my Bullitt Mustang.
Then Brent rented a local drag strip, (OSCEOLA) about a 1-hour drive from Pierceton, IN.
So Brent did that so I could test the New Tune before the 2012 NMRA World Finals coming up in like 3-Days.

Some Videos were taken and I would like to Post them here for you to check out.
But, I can't figure out exactly how to do it where all you would have to do is click on the Video Picture.
This site is completely different in the way to do that than the ones I usually Post on.

I did actually Race mine in a Class called, (True Street).
That event was on Oct. 4-5-6 & 7th.
At Beech Bend Drag Strip in Bowling Green, Ky.

I was there all four days.
Thursday was, (Registration & Tech).
Friday was, (Test & Tune).
That day I got to do Three (3) practice passes.
Saturday was the real deal for, (True Street) class which is what I was in.
That day I got to actually make, 4-Passes all total for the day.

This year I chose to actually race the Bullitt Mustang as it is driven on the, (Street).
Meaning, with street tires etc. just as I drove it back from Brenspeed in Pierceton, IN.
Not many people will do that as it is very-very-difficult to do.
Especially in a Highly Modified car with over 500 HP & Torque at the rear wheels.
But, many of my Buddies as well as myself wanted to know just how Fast could I drive it as it is Driven on the Street.
So I said I will Race it that way this year and we will find out just how good I am.

Keep in mind that I don't Drag-Race this Bullitt Mustang hardly ever.
It is more just a Hobby Car with lots of Power.
I've only had it on a drag strip a few times as it is configured now.
So many of my Buddies were wondering what I could do with it as I said.

Below are going to be the Links to the Videos that were taken by other people.
I actually did not know there were any videos taken until they came to me in a few E-Mails.

Also I will Post some Pics. of me being at Brenspeed.
I was there long enough to attend, (Dyno-Day).
That is held usually twice a year by Brenspeed.
Live Band, Food, Drinks, Adult Beverages, and those that wish can have their vehicles, (Dynoed).

I also raced it this year at the, 2012 Bullitt Nationals in Springfield, MO.

That time it was, (Injured) and only running 5-Lbs. of Boost from the Saleen Supershaker Supercharger.
They wanted me to make a pass with it anyway so I did.
The problem with it turned out to be a Bad, (Boost Control Valve).
That was corrected once I got back Home from that event.

My, {Very-Prized} HoonDog Plaque for winning 1st place at,

The NMRA (Grudge-Race) 2012 NMRA World Finals

[tigerhonaker]

Here is what I can share with you on the NMRA 2012 World Finals and me attending.

I drove up to Brenspeed and had Brent (Brenspeed Owner) load a New 93-Octane, (Race-Tune).

This was the same weekend as, (Dyno-Day) 2012.

Brent said he would see if he could rent the local drag strip, (OSCEOLA)
if I could stay a few more days.

The purpose was obviously to, (Test) the New-Tune and to get some idea
as to how to drive the, "tigermachine" with, (Street-Tires).

I took several pictures while at Brenspeed.

Below are those pictures:

Jim, I'm glad you and a few others enjoyed the Thread.

I actually waited some as I was thinking if anyone on here would even want
to see something like this.
I made the decision last evening to go ahead and do it so I would know in the future to do anything like this again.
Even with just a few of you Posting makes the time and effort worth it to me.
Nice I think to share things like this with other guys.

Bart, Your exactly right this Machine is not for the, (Candy-Asses) for sure.

They would not live long if they were sitting behind the wheel and controls !!!

For you guys that are interested here are a few more videos I left out in the above Thread.
Did not want to over-load it as there was a lot of info.

Here is the video of the New, Saleen, Boost-Control Valve.
You can see from the video it is now back to Normal once again.
Keep in mind that the Boost will Not go all the way to Maximum with the car in netural.
The video is just to show it is working correctly.

Not working at all:
This is the way it was raced at the 2012 Bullitt Nationals in Springfield, MO.

Oh, I think you would like to see Ron's Fastest pass at the 2012 NMRA World Finals.
His Bullitt Mustang is a fully highly modified machine like mine.
He has a Brenspeed B302 built engine, 6-Sp. Tranny, FRPP 4:10-Gears.
LT (Long Tube) headers, High Flow Cats, and the list goes on and on.
He is also running/racing his with his street tires as I did.

My Fastest Pass to (Compare) with Ron's Fastest Pass.

Basically the passes were in the 11's for me.
The Fastest MPH Pass for the day for me was,( ET 11.659) @ (127.13 MPH).
