Last night we loaded up and went down to MIR for alittle drag racing and testing/tuning. The weather was hot but was dry and the pressure was decent. I believe DA was close to 1500'. First pass off the trailer was all motor with a new tuneup. Here's the first pass.....
60' 1.510
1/4 10.80 @ 127.xx
I was pretty happy with the pass but when we pulled back into the pits I noticed something wrong with the shifter. 1st, 3rd and 5th were all soft, kinda like there was no positive stop or engagement to them. Turns out I broke the shifter mounts. The shifter mounts to the aluminum box which attaches it to the torque tube. The mounts on the aluminum box were cracked in half. I wonder if I can tig weld the ears back on.....
