Default First F1R LS to the 4.70's!

Went out the MIR last night for the first points race of the year and ended up with a new best and being the first F1R to the 4.70's! I got taken out in the semis by Bobby driving my nitrous car but that's racing. I don't want to lose to anyone but it's better to lose to your teammate than anyone else. It was still a great night as he went on to win the race. Thanks to everyone that helps us out. Brian Tanner for working like crazy taking care of the car maintenance between rounds so I can focus on the tune ups. Santore, Buck and everyone else on our crew for always doing whatever it takes to make the next round, it is really all appreciated. Thanks also to all my sponsors and helpers listed below for the best parts and service in the industry!

I think all of the passes are in this video. This is of then entire test session yesterday and the race except for the finals so it is rather long.

They always say even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. I always try and learn everything I can to make my stuff the best that it can be.

I had a F1X on it last week but was having a hard time making it run on the front half. I gave it to someone at the last race for them to use and they sent it back to Procharger to get it checked out before I get it back. I should have it back on the car in a few weeks.

Thanks, it was a great night for us. It just sucked that I had to run against my own car in the semis.

Im going to keep the F1R in the trailer for a spare when I switch. I can't get rid of something that works so good.

I think I may be done with building new cars. Having 2 is way more work than its worth.

What did it weigh on the 4.7 pass? How hard are you turning the F1R over spinning it any?
