Last runs of the season: Car goes 170+ mph Made two runs at Cecil Friday night...which is a scary thought in itself since they don't go out of their way to prep the track on Friday nights 
Run 1: Set the car up conservative in hopes to get down the track
R/T: .021 (Pro tree
)
60': 1.422
330': 3.653
1/8: 5.484
mph: 134.52
1000': 7.062
1/4: 8.393 (matched my old best)
mph: 170.82

Run 2: Set the car much more aggressive, but the track was definately going away. Car danced all the way down track and the video didn't come out very well. Upon inspection, I think I lost a head gasket somewhere in this run...which slowed it down...
R/T: .031 (I got this protree thing down
)
60': 1.388 (can't believe the track held it!)
330': 3.596
1/8: 5.425
mph: 134.78
1000': 7.010
1/4: 8.355 (new best)
mph: 167.49 DOH!
I've learned a bunch this season and there are definately changes needed...Biggest issue is I think my 4" downpipe is now a major restriction...guess I gotta find a way to snake a 5" pipe in there

Always nice to see Bryan and the wife down the track. Could not ask to meet nicer people with a badass car. Congrats to Mr.Fireball and the Wifey look forward to seeing you both in the future and just enjoy watching the car get rolling down the track..
After about 200 feet that thing just looks like a rocket pulling.

Maybe I'll catch a viewing of it sometime next year at Cecil County if I can make my way down there.
