Arrow B9R at Famoso Drag Strip....Mid-Boost Shakedown..Video!!!

We decided to take the B9R to the Famoso Drag Racing Shootout and see what she does as far as trap speed. We were happy with the results but sadly came home quickly b/c she popped a radiator hose but we thought it may have been the radiator being busted. 144mph on Mid-boost tells us that she has a 150+mph in her. Traction was a big issue and we passed through a light rain on that day. On the first pass, I went side ways in second gear for a little bit but stayed on the throtle the whole way. The lane on the right side worked out better. Enjoy the video. 60-130 run will be performed shortly, stay tuned.

that would be in the mid/low 9's easy if you sort out the bog on launch, thats straight out sick.

congrats on the mph. Good ET's are difficult because the P-cars are a bit tricky to launch (6 speed manual). As you can see from the list, there are cars trapping high 140's and still only able to run in the 10's.

Car is a beast but you need launch control (might snap the OEM axles with it though)

Nice Run.

You need some real Tires, like 275/40/17 Mickeys, It'll rip then!
