Decided to hit the track tonight since we finally got some good cool air in. There is definately a little more in it as the track was just soso. I also have a little suspension problem to sort out which will be worth a few hundredths I think. I know it has some 30's in it if I can get my 60' down.

1st pass I launched hard and had a spinning 1.49 60' with the car going right. I shifted 3rd a little early(anxious, I guess) and still ran a 10.58 @ 131.28.

2nd pass, I thought I would launch a little lower and see if I could get it to hook better. Well it did, but with a slight bog. 1.51 60' and ran a 10.608 @ 130.48.

3rd pass, I decided to just let it rip since it seemed to like the spinning better than boggin. All shifts on this pass were perfect at 6200. 60' was a spinning 1.485, 330' 4.322, 1/8 6.678 @ 103.78, 1000' 8.714 and the 1/4 10.432 @ 131.37.



I decided to make a 4th pass to try and get the 39, but the track was going away. To much dew. This one was a spinning badly 1.547 60', 330' 4.383, 1/8 6.74 @ 103.71, 1000' 8.777, 1/4 10.49 @ 131.32.

I'll post pics of the slips as soon as I get some batteries for the camera.

Congrats man... I sold out... I went turbo so my dreams of being on the list are dead.. All that work for 650/780 on spray with a ported eaton & pulley are all for not...

I hope you can put another set of numbers up before you convert F8L you've been a huge insperation for me.

Launching varied, trying to find the best spot for the track. I launched as low as 5000 and as high as 6500. The best pass was around 6000 last night.

thanks bro, I don't know about a 20 without some additional mods, but I think I can squeek out a high 30 if conditions allow.

Did you get to go to the track yesterday?

Thanks, you should bring it over. It would probably drop a sec. off you times over this way. Especially this time of year.
