Default Roofer Dave's car - Maiden Voyage Videos

Things went pretty well. Kurt made two hits with the car before deciding we need some suspension refinements. The first hit was with 15psi on the brake and a photo I will post later shows the left-rear tire nearly off the ground. Car got out of shape and Kurt lifted twice and coasted across for a 9.59 @ 113:

9.59 @ 113

The second pass was at 12psi off the brake and the car left hard to the right. Again Kurt had to lift and pedal the car some. Still managed an 8.77 @ 166:

8.77 @ 166

The car needs limiters up front becaue it is difficult to see with the front lifting all the way down the track. We may also soften the 4-link up some as it is hitting really hard. Other than that, no real issues at all. A pretty good shake down.

Nice first passes, car looks like a handful.

He does know that there is a green light at the bottom, right?

Nice shakedown runs, looks like a scary ride. Running 8s while lifting and making it look too easy, nice.
