Arrow New Best yesterday, but with issues (with video)

Happy I got a new best, but the car needs fuel bad. I only made two runs because the FP was dropping to 40psi on the bottle. Even with 3-4 degrees of KR, and low FP, I managed a 10.28 and I let up right before the end of the track when I saw the FP was low.



Video is here:

Great run for having aborted it. Who was the guy in the TA running next to you?

After looking at the time slip, it looks like the guy in the left lane let off or something. What's up with the 11.0 @ 110mph?

That was Tom Ritchie (nbm00ws6). He broke a belt near the end of the run.

Nice times! didn't even realize you switched to a auto till i watched the vid.

How do you like the TH400? What RPM are you turning on the freeway with it? Debating on switching over myself this winter.

TIA

George...using stock system for now. Gonna install dual Walbros over the winter though.


Jim....highway? What's that? Only highway I drive on is a little over a 1/4 mile long The car is pretty much a trailer queen now. I miss driving it on the street though, but it's worth it to be able to go fast.

Thanks Kurt! Look forward to racing with you guys next season
