Top Sportsman testing at Byron .
I never get to post results because I run a BBC, but there was a ton of LS guys there that kept asking,
what happened, how did you do, so I figured I would post my slips??
It was cold, damp & WINDY!!!!
As you can see, the track was pretty damn good, but it just couldn't hold it past 100-200'??
The 1st & 3rd pass I had to throw the chutes to get it under control.

Just got this from the track photographer.
If anyone was there or knows someone that was, and they were doing video's, I want to talk with them, PLEASE.
I would really like to see what this looked like, because my car never does a wheelie!!

Actually those runs were with the engine off at ~300'.
I couldn't control it and I shut it down, and had to pull the chutes on the 1st & 3rd pass so I didn't go in the other lane.
That car can't run without the N2O, it's got a nitrous gear & converter, so it bog's pretty bad if you try.
With nitrous it does the 1.06-.07 60', without nitrous, it's a pig and is around 1.19 60'.
It always runs in the 140's under power at the 1/8th.
