[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 15737128, member: 7795"] Well unfortunately the weather was sh1t all week and the forecast gave basically no chance, but we though we'd have a short window to make a few passes before the rain and I trailered it up with help from my brother. First pass 10.12@144 with a worse 1.79 60' and then a decent launch 10.009@144.9 with a 1.68 60'. That pass should have been a 9 as I made the track longer by laying 50' of rubber on the 1-2 shift and almost clipping the 330' cone. Damn near crossed center and got out of it, but stayed in a had a wild ride :) Unfortunately I had been noticing some belt fraying and on the 3rd pass the belt broke. We had a new belt but it's not a quick change, and intermittent sprinkles started so that's it for 2017 unless we get some miracle weather Thanksgiving weekend. Track was really cold and only had about 15-20 cars show up. High was only 52 and DA was 200' so great for power but difficult traction. I'll post a slip and some pics, but bummed no 9 second pass. Still had a good time and see the potential in the car for consistent 9s after a few changes. My youngest brother working on the Go Pro had a death on his wife's side of family, so he was at a funeral and no good vid. Would have liked to show you guys the ass puckering slip and slide 10.00 pass, one guy at the track was impressed and is trying to send me video. He and my brother said it was an epic stick car pass :) Thanks for following. -J [/QUOTE]
