First time out with new staging brake - July 26, 2015 08:09 pm UTC

Hi guys, haven't been here in a while. Looking forward to seeing some old faces in Ohio!

Took my Talon back to the track a couple of weeks ago. I just finished installing a staging brake ( thanks again Nick )! WOW, that thing is awesome!! My first time ever using it, and I was able to do a new best 60' of 1.42. The brake allows me to pre-load the driveline, and I leave with a lot more boost then before the staging brake. On the 9.9 pass in this video the car took a right towards the wall but I stayed in it ( in car GoPro has a good view of it ). It left with 22 psi which is way more then usual ( about 12 psi ). I think on a better pass it will go 1.3x 60'.

Video my buddy Chad made me:

1.42 is so 2010..... smile

Nice job Mike. I'm still pissed that you beat me to the 1st stock block in the 9s.

I had a hole drilled in my stock e brake handle to hold the release button down and used it like a staging brake. Did you try this first?
