Default New BOSS record, 10.93!!!

Hi guys and gals,

took the black beast out to play today, and with Craig@ACE mastering his role as a top racing crew chief, together we added another chapter to history.

10.93@ 124MPH!

this is what we have been waiting for. the 1700kg beast blowing anything even remotely like LS1 with same blower/drivetrain/weight combo into oblivion. ing_sm

Racing today against a full lightweight (1400kg) blown LS1 from sydney, his best was a 10.77, if i could lose 300kg, 10.50's easy.

A very big Ford BOSS nail into the LS1 coffin today guys, and i repeated the run shortly thereafter, so the record is backed up.


I am very very excited. :

Lol I couldn't see the time properly from where I was but I saw Craig throw the arms up and jumping up and down and I knew. Got the thumbs up from Craig which confirmed it. Well done Chris!! :sm_headba

Very well done today dude, you had the "eye of the tiger" from the moment that car came off the trailer. It was a pleasure being involved today and to be standing only 4 feet from the back of the car on those historic runs was a real buzz. On the 1st 10.93 i looked up at the scoreboards and saw 97.00 MPH to the half i knew it had to be good and there it was.

The emotion afterwards with you and Rachel on the return road was Bruce MacAveney "Special" and a moment i won't forget for a long time.

Now that's first into the 12's, 11's and now 10's i wonder what might be next.....LOL..

I told you we wern't there to .... spiders man.

Absolutely awesome mate. Since Matt and i were there a few weeks ago, we knew it was only a matter of time!

Fantastic stuff, and to know that car has a few tricks left in it yet, your gunna give the turbo boys a bit of a run for their money.

Mate all I can say is well done on such an achievement. You we’re the first in 12’s 11’s and now the huge 10 second bracket mate this is huge, All those time’s that you we’re so close have now officially payed off it’s all been worth while.

Now you can place it on the self and relish in the milestone that you achieved, but so many have failed in trying to overcome.

Once again all I can say is well done, and go the BOSS.

Hey, well done gents, great reward for outstanding effort. BTW, who read lighted? Was that the LS1 trying to get a headstart?

Can you post the slip? What was 60ft times?
