I picked up a DiabloSport Trinity to make data logging easier. I can now log Air Fuel Ratio on the Trinity with the rest of the OBDII suppled PIDs.

It's been a busy week for Orange Krush. I took a week of vacation and did a bit of maintenance. First off, a spark plug swap. How To video inside.

More 11.50s at the track this wekeend. If I can get some decent traction to bring the 60 foots down into the low 1.7x range I'll be in the very low 11 second category. Good thing Beech Bend is lax on rules or they'd probably want me to put a cage in the car.

I set a new PB in Orange Krush this weekend at Beech Bend Raceway. A hotter tune on some 109 unleaded race gas, thanks Hemituner, and some better driving netted a 11.51 at 123. I'm pretty happy with that for a car I can drive to the track, race, and drive home. OH, and I got nearly 24MPG to boot haha.

I attended the TX Mile to help my buddy Sam out for the October event. He hit his goal of 180MPH and then some, setting the record for the fastest Challenger in the standing mile. Hit the image below for videos and pictures from the event. Congrats buddy.

Speedy'sGarage has been a bit quiet this summer. For that I appologize, but things should start to ramp back up. I've been in the process of moving and it's been very hectic. I've got a few things planned for Project Orange Krush to help get a bit faster at the track, and those changes and results will be posted up right here. I've also got a few "Garage" projects in queue and I'm considering adding those to my site as well. Lemme know if you'd like to see projects out side of Orange Krush posted here!

Challengerfest2 went of without a hitch. We had great weather, a blast at the track, and loads of beautiful Challengers.

Well, I finally met my goal. I've been gunning for an 11 second pass in the 1/4 mile and last night I did it at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, KY. This was done on 93 octane and the same tune I drive on every day thanks to HemiTuner. Thanks to DSS for the 1400HP axles to stand up to the abuse of the hard launches, and Magnacharger for a SWEET supercharger!

I flew out to Houston, TX to pit crew my buddy's Challenger that has about the same mods as mine. He ran 175MPH in the standing mile which is impressive considering a Lamborghini at the event ran 160MPH.

I wanted to dressup my engine bay a bit for upcoming car shows this season. I ordered a Billet Technology underhood dressup kit and WOW is it high quality.

I hit the track this weekend to test out the M&H drag radials. I'm happy to report they did great. I love this Challenger. Look at all the gear I could fit in the trunk to drive to the track. Lets see a Mustang or Camaro do that! I also hit a personal best with the drag radials and am knocking on the door of the 11s.

I got my specialty plate today, and I'm happy to report that Orange Krush passed an emission test with flying colors. Amazing that a near 600RWHP car can pass emissions and get 20+ MPGs!
I hope local Law Enforcement doesn't give me a hard time!

I've had a busy past couple of days prepping Orange Krush for upcoming test and tunes. I got the DriveShaftShop Level 5 axles installed as well as the Pettys Garage drive shaft safety loop. I wanna thank Agent Automotive in Mt. Juliet, TN for letting me use one of their lifts for the installation and the expert help with the install. If you're in middle TN and need anything done on your hot rod I wouldn't hesitate to recommend those guys.

ChallengerFest 2 is in full swing. The event will be held in Bowling Green, KY the weekend of April 29 - May 1, 2011. There will be a car show, drag racing, and just a general good time with fellow hot rod enthusiasts.

Today I installed a SRT chin spoiler and belly pan on Orange Krush. It's a nice upgrade if there's a need to replace parts.

My 1400HP Drive Shaft Shop axles showed up today. More on these later too haha.

My Petty's Garage drive shaft loop showed up today. More on this later.

In preparing for the 2011 track season, I've procured some M&H drag radials and Cobra R wheels to run them on. These will definitely help my times at the track.

I made the first modification to Orange Krush for 2011. I added a matching brake pedal cover haha. It's Mercedes P/N 203-430-00-84. Pop the old rubber cover off, pop the new matching cover on. A little WD40 helps.
