Thanks Harrison and thanks on all the congrats everyone...It was def a great feeling seeing the Jeep make it into the 9's..I wasn't expecting the GTR to bust out a 10 second pass either , that was icing on the cake!
The Jeep has more in her once we can get that converter loosened up for sure!! I was definitely a superstar at the track. Tons of people huddled around it the whole time I was there.
Stage6 continues to impress me on not only building such a MONSTER but also in there service after the sale..Harrison has always been available in walking this newbie through whatever I need and believe me I could not have done it without him
I do love that about the Stage6 guys, they're always available to answer questions or lend advise.

I know TTC has a few going on I'm sure.
I bet by the end of 2013 there will be 15-18 Jeeps running 9's. A few Jeeps are getting some work done right now. It's not a matter of being "down". It's a matter of making them more efficient or better. Its really all still testing on these builds bc we are always learning something. Even Keoni who says he's "happy" with his build will be doing something to it this year I bet. Lol. You think you know what works, then you find out its not enough. I don't wish this power level on anyone to be honest with you guys. It's a never ending money pit.
At these power levels, its so easy to break stuff. At some point, you've got to get your Jeep to run a number safely, and learn to be happy with that number.
2013 will see Jeeps in the 8's for sure and more in the 9's and more in the 10's. Hopefully we will see some WK2's hitting 11's and 10's as well. That would be cool!!
Congrats Thomas! Nice to see another color flying down the strip. Big thumbs up to my Stage 6 brothers too! You guys make monsters. Maybe it should be called Stage 6 rocket works

Forgot about you and Tommy. Lol. It was late man and I'm getting old. Give me a break. I'm sure there are others I forgot too!! You know I loves you Boo.
Congrats! Another impressive build for sure. We will see this monster at the some the Shootout events this year?
That's pretty crazy that until this weekend that all Jeep's in the 9's were black..
