Got my LF88 X275 car out to the track on Saturday (pics) First pass, car went 1.23 60ft but before the 60 the dial a flow malfunctioned from some water getting on it from cooler tank. Second pass bypassed the dial a flow and tied the front down to ride height. Turned up launch boost and 2step to 5K and car went directly to the bumper hit the rev limiter from all 4s being off ground and slammed back to the earth. Broke the pan, and as far as we can see that is all that is broken. Either way it ended our racing day. We can see some serious potential here. We are trying to make the last X275 Houston race on Nov 10th. One more weekend to test this brand new car. Last pic is right before the car went to the moon. Camera didn't keep going.
hope its only the pan.

Well most of it has changed from my n2o car.
25.5 cage
Sphegetti menders
385 LSX
new Buhrkhart front end
most new suspension pieces
I took it all the way to the frame and then started over. I think I am going to take the SS spoiler off and put on a racecraft wing. I am putting my sticker package back on the car as well. It is an original 35thLE.

I will try and get go pro off the lap top. It doens't show much since I had it pointed at the rear tire. It shows the tire getting punished and then comes off the ground for a little bit and see some tire smoke when it does and that is it. LOL......I can't find any pics of the wheel stand.

Can't make it out on Saturday. Going to get back up to Denton on Friday and test some more. We will also be leaving on the next friday to tune in Houston before the race on the 10th.
