Caught this on a local board, figured you guys would like to know.

Regan won the Super Street 10.90 bracket at the Torco Nats in Chicago!

Always been in awe of that big blue truck!

Thanks Elky ! Y'all just don't know how cool this was ! I had alot of luck and then stepped up and did my job and got it done in the final . I was told before the semis that I would have to be back in the lanes quickly after the round and killed it coming
up the return road . When I got my time slip it wouldnt start ! I got towed back to the trailer jacked it up and all my friends got it fixed (a broken starter jumper wire ) . I got to the lanes with about 2 minutes to spare won the coin toss and got my lane . I had to use a little different staging method in later rounds becuase of the rollout to cut better lights . Well I had a .005 to Downings .028 and we both went 10.876 in the final ! If y'all want to see the pics go to autoimagery.com and itwill also be telivised on ESPN2 sat the 14th @ 9am .

Congrats man!!

Man Reagan...good job. I just watched ESPN coverage. The only video of yours was of the Jegs Allstar event. They only showed the final result of the Wally race at the very end for a second. Did you spin on the Allstar race? It looked like it left a little soft and it might of slowed the reaction time a touch. Again great job.

A big congrats , that's quite an accomplishment .

regan wilson i just seen you on t.v nice past.sorry you didnt make it to the second round

[regan wilson]

Thanks guys , Jim I leave soft anyway all I cuold do was a 30 light shallow staged . In the later rounds I was rolling in deeper . I was dissapointed in ESPN ! They wasted time on dumb stuff like Jegs chef (who cares ? ) Then with 20 minutes left they show the last 2 rounds of the Alchohol classes and a bunch of commercials . They made me feel like an ass becuase they told me I would be on there and I told everyone I know and then some .

[regan wilson]

Oh and If you watch the Allstar round you can see me dumping on him I knew I caught him way too soon . Then I stabbed it a little too late and he got the stripe by .006 ! I needed about 6 more foot of track. lol

[bigjimzlll]

Regan, If you don't mind, a couple of questions. Do you run a plate stop? If so electric or air? What RPM is the on stop? Where and how much do you have in the timers? Do you shift on the stop?

[djracer]

Congrats! I think I want to try some super street. I loved 1/4 racing at super chevy.

[regan wilson]

Jim I have 2 Dominators so I ended up building my own stop . I tried using one inline stop before the bellcrank and they wouldnt consistantly open (my et's varied a tenth pass to pass) . I took 2 ts10 Dedenbear inline stops and cut them down to fit on each carb and run them with one solenoid that I ported out . I cant adjust my rpm on the stop(its around 3600) but its ok I just chip the 2step to get my 60 ft where I want it . I also run a 3speed that time shifts into 2nd while on the stop then I shift high on my own (more fun that way and if I need to I can stretch it out). I am on the stop 2.6 to 3 seconds with a 2.2 60 ft .

[bigjimzlll]

Thanks Regan. I've been shifting to 3rd on the stop. I would spin coming off the stop in 2nd. This is with an electric plate stop. I am going to switch to an inline stop. I run about 3 in the timer also. I didn't realize you had 2 doms on that beast.

[regan wilson]

Jim I have a th400 with a 2.10 low gear and a 1.31 second gear . Mine would spin or if it hooked yank the front tires about three inches coming off the stop when I had the stock gearset . You are a little lighter than me (3700lbs) mine just doesnt like coming off in high gear . There are alot of racers that cant believe that I run a 3 speed but it works . I have alot less problems than I would if I were breaking Powerglides all the time . It's more fun too !

[regan wilson]

Also jim I think you will be able to come off the stop in second with an inline stop becuase you can adjust the rate . The electric plate stop is a good piece of you aren't overpowering it . The instant on part is whats killing you trying to come off in second .

Congrats Regan on your win in Chicago. I missed the EPSN coverage this past weekend. I wish I could see that truck run again someday...

[Orange]

I saw you on ESPN2 (I am an avid NHRA fan) and was going to come post this. Cool to see you are a member here. Congrats on the Wally, and for making it into the Allstars race.

Thanks Orange ! Aggie we will be racing at Red River Sept. 12 to the 14th for the divisional . We might be in Ennis for the National the week after . We will be in Memphis July 18-20th . After that I have to freshen it up . I'm gonna change the cam while I'm at it so maybe it will run like it should after that . Sooner or later it's gonna run over 150 on a 10.90 ! If that doesnt work I guess I will have to save my pennies till i can make a 665 out of it .
