Congratulations Joe! Awesome to see your van's times dropping and you getting the record!
I still remember a couple years ago when you were working hard to get the 12MF9...seems like child's play now

Thank you everyone for all the kind words. Warren you are right, it feels like just yesterday that I was searching for 12.MF9. Now I'd be really pissed if it "only" ran a 12.MF9, I guess you could say now my next goal is 10.MF9. Going to be a lot of luck and sawzall blades to get to that point though.
nice! good work
Nice work, congrats! Do you have a timeslip posted? I'm curious what your 60' was.
I tried uploading the timeslip on here, but had issues. I do have it uploaded to my dragtimes.com page.

Please tell me the birdpoop welds and ford intercooler went along on that 11.7 ride.. that makes it even more incredible.
birdpoop welds went bye bye a few years ago, with JT's help I replaced those pipes with aluminum ones. But yes, the old school, " You can't make any power with that intercooler" powerstroke intercooler is still installed. It may get replaced this winter though.
For reference on just how high the bar actually is.... what is the no n2o record minivan run?
I only see yours and Terry's run times with nitrous on the times page.
Would like to see things in perspective.

Terry Ran 11.9xx without NOS, 11.7 with it. It's too bad he didn't keep going, he was running 5psi less than he ran with the previous motor and there was lots more in the setup before he sold it.
I thought the bar was pretty high! And Joe previously mentioned for him it was low 12's. Either way, that is making a van really move.

This is where if Terry was still around it would help. The only video's I've found of his runs were in the 12.2x's so I was under the assumption that he was doing a motor run there. On his dragtimes.com page his backup run to the 11.7 was a 11.9. Not sure why he'd run once with nitrous, then back it up without.
My fastest motor time, off the top of my head, 12.21@110ish. That was also with the timing pulling for nitrous. I was thinking next time out I'd see if I can get 11's on motor with the timing bumped up. Once I do that I'll see if we can post a "without nitrous" time and "with nitrous" times.
Thanks Joe.
That would be handy for me, and possibly others. I have no interest is using nitrous.
I was wondering for me and MeanMini if it would be possible to get up closer to you guys.

I would think so. Just need a little more boost, after all who doesn't want just a little more boost
Thanks for the link to that timeslip. Great to see that the mini's are still getting raced - it's inspiring to me. Congrats again on the record!
Not a new record, but i finally got my best run so far posted on the dragtimes page.

Note- JT or MB, if you get me a edited pic watermarked or credited, i'll swap it. Gave MB credit in the notes though.

Hey Joe nice job! It takes commitment to get a minivan to haul azz
My best motor pass was 11.97@111.77 https://youtu.be/Ntbsg_frgP8
I sprayed the van twice right after that pass with a 50 shot. On the first pass I was excited and shifted 1st to 3rd.....then back to 2nd.....then pushed the button! lol That was the 11.94 pass. The next pass I sprayed it right after I shifted second....lifted off the button during the 2-3 gear change.....then back on the gun! That was my best pass ever and was the record that stood until now
Congrats Joe! I KNOW you earned it!
Thanks for giving us that lowdown. I have been kind of out of the loop for several years, but been trying to work back at it. It's good to see what the "all motor" bar was!
