Few good launch pics on poor runs today! Drove up to Hattiesburg,MS for that 9 sec pass..but missed 4th on the first pass and broke ANOTHER TQ arm bracket on the rearend! Also was trying a new material type clutch from RAM. Clutch was working awsome,but had a slight creap on the starting lin at launch RPM. First time to be towed off the track 
Going to making a better bracket and do some clutch\suspension adjustments for next weekend hopefully. After this,unhooked the Tahoe and made a few maiden\tuning passes! 
missed gears pass:

Hey dont feel bad, I missed 4th manually shifting about 4-5 times saturday at cecil. I keep hitting the spot between 2 and 4, or it just wouldnt go into 4th, and the one time I shifted to 6th. It had to be one of the most frustrating days at the track ever -- mix that in with traction problems because of a cold track, my FAST TB hanging my idle at 5k rpm, and finally culminating with me grenading my 12-bolt and having to get flatbedded over to Mikey's, and it wasnt a good day.
Anyhow, that first run of yours looked wicked until it was time for 4th...

WOW..that just gives it a different take when you can stare at it!
1st pass was a 1.98 60' must have bounced the front tire over the beam and broke it with the back tires. 2nd pass was a 1.40. Hell I even stiffened the front shock up 1 click for the 2nd pass. Just need to get the new clutch hitting a little softer.
