It's great to that you guys did well, but I'm sorry to hear that the green monster broke.
I'm anxious to know what the problem was. I would hope it's some easily fixed driveline breakage due to the fact that the car is putting out what? 150+ more horsepower than stock? I sure hope that it's nothing in the stock short block.

Pete, please keep us posted. I'm a big fan of that car because it's the best example out there of a serious 1/4 mile car that doesn't rely on cubic inches to get the job done. A real "Benchmark Car".

Congratulations! Sorry I couldn't be there but had to be at a wedding in Florida. Also sorry Pete that yours broke--as you say, a good excuse for a new program. Sounds like everyone had a good time. Nelson007, Marc said he had a wheel hop problem with the LS9 but after talking with Graham (who has some experience with LS9s) resolved it with tires and pressures. You might want to talk with Marc directly about it. -- Bob

Congratulations! You are all doing a great job representing the ZR-1 and serving notice to all comers that the King ain't dead yet!

Congrats! Wow! The FBI guys never cease to impress me.... and while Pete may have had some trouble, I have no doubt that what Pete does next will raise the bar even further.

Again, congrats!!!

Regards,
Mark

Congrats Gents, It's nice to put a face to a name. I saw a video a while ago where one of Marc's 441's was being started in his shop. I thought it was Marc himself who was under the hood, but apparently not. I really need to get my but South of the border and meet some of you guys.

Good work guys. Very very impressive.
