Sun Coast Launches a Winner!!

Many thanks to Joe Webb and the Sun Coast crew for coming up with a new product that worked flawlessly in it's first Beta test.

Jeff Garmon and Darren Morrison were both running the new Pro Loc 5 disk converter with improved billet shafts. Both trucks worked perfect, and Jeff ran his best EVER 1/8 mile lifting before the line.

Jeff normally runs mid 6's in the 1/8th at 114 - 115 mph. Jeff ran a 6.39 lifting early at 111. It was a shame the shutdown area on the track was so short. His 60 foot was a 1.504.

Darren blew a boot on his first pass. Darren normally runs 7.0's at 101 mph and this weekend, he ran a 7.11 at 76 mph, again loosing the boot at about 450 - 500 feet. Air intake temps kept him from running faster the rest of the day, but both Jeff and Darren will have that fixed by Atlanta.

Both Jeff and Darren said the converters were awesome. Sticking this kind of power is tough, but thanks to Joe and crew, it just got easier.

Thanks from the Garmon racing crew for you guys always thinking ahead and helping plant the power.
