Orange car debut, licensing passes. Here are some pics that show the color better than the last post I had. The car ran well and Mark (BLWNTA) came up one run short from getting his license.

Thanks for all the comments! We are just happy that the car didn't have any major problems and that I didn't make any major mistakes. That was the goal and we were happy for that.
As for the runs....long story short...the track was so bad in the first 60'-330' I spun in first gear every pass. The car was only running off the gate (15lb spring) and 14 degrees of timing and went 9.85@157 on the fifth pass. The tuning wizard Mike Brown, said (while laughing) he couldn't make it any slower. The 60' was 1.57 and the 1/8 ET was only 6.63...so I didn't have it WOT until after the 8th and I was in second gear. I also drifted off WOT at 1000' reaching for the chute. There's plenty of promise with those early numbers...just need to get more track time for the car and seat time for me.
We are planning on running in a heads-up race this weekend with Mike and Steve (Ohio Boys) at OVOS where they tormented the locals last year. Expectations will be low but it should be fun.
JAMNUT...As for the throttle bracket....all custom machined. Unforntunately for you and my pocketbook, it's a one off part.
