Default 2nd Place Extreme NA LTX Shootout

Hey guys I took 2nd place in the finals at the LTXshootout. I got a better light and 60ft, got the holeshot on my competitor, but made the fatal last minute decision to pull the air fiter wich resulted in a 6mph loss and .4+ths. He drove around me and I lost by .2 !!!

I also had major clutch issues as well! I have a hole in the MC Line but ran anyways, and had to put the pedal to the floor to get it in gear. Found that out in my first 2 qualifing runs when i missed 2nd.

Best pass of the day for me was 12.2@116 on a 1.9 60ft corrected for DA would have been a 11.7@120.
Had a blast at the event and even won a Bad *** polished Speedinc alt relocation kit that retains PS!!

Thanks Tom!!
Yeah I left hard on him. After the clutch is fixed, Drag shocks and relocation brackets are next.
I really wanna see your car run and someday get a clean pass in mine!!

Congrats. And considering you not having enough time to test and tune before heading out there and other issues with the clutch, then the optispark. You certainly did well.
