Default New Best 10.11@137.95

I got a new best last night. I think i got the shock settings right and it showed. First pass out i forgot to open the bottle again and ran 17.3 lol.
Second pass i came out hard and the i hooked. I saw the sky! Felt awesome!
1.41 60ft 10.18@133.12
Felt like i was loosing up top. I check my nitrous controllers setting and saw that i have the nitrous turn off at 6700, i was crossing the traps a little higher than that.

So i come out hard again and this time i didnt lift that high, spin a little bit but powered through it.
1.43 60ft 10.11@137.95
The car is moving. I never thought 9s where possible, but i am almost in reach.

So i go back to my trailer and switch bottles. As i come back to the lanes i hear hsssssss.
Did i leave the bottle open??
No caught something in the pits and killed the tired, so my night was over.
Tires where on the way out anyway.

Still a great night.
Congrates to Rick for completing his license passes and his 142mph runs. Awesome
Mark always a please watching your car run.
And thanks to Julio for coming out and giving support, his tune is hands the best!
Kyle thanks for hanging out and lending a hand on the tire swap, now get a trailer and get racing!

Good runs man. At least you forget to turn the bottle on during test and tune days... I seem to forget to do that at more important moments

What was the DA there last night?

Wasn't referring to YOUR car Alex, hehe
I went to adjust Barry's shocks yesterday and he said you set them last.
Well, the drivers rear was set at 10 or 12, don't remember exactly and the passenger rear was set at like 15, how that's even possible on a 12 way shock is beyond me but apparently you figured out how to do it
I guess your comments on sabotage are more truth than jest!

I did not adjust Barry's rear shocks that day... I could not get to them w/o getting way under the car and I did not want to get dirty since I was not racing.

So those rear shocks settings were Barry's own doing

lol

Congrats Barry.
Honestly, You may have gotten into the nines,
if you shifted a little quicker on that last pass.
But its better to be sure that it is in gear, then try to be fast and miss.
The speed will come.

Nice runs.

Same for Rick, your car was moving, and you finally got that lic. now.

Brooklyn Mark, you car was on rails as usual.

I just hope you guy's are not afraid of my 11.5 killer at the next event.

Don't forget the E-town index race this Sat @ 3pm.
