Default New Best on 275's - 4.92 @ 142, 1.14 60'

Yesterday at the Byron Wheelie Contest, I was running an exhibition race with our local MDRA 275 class. This was in full X275 trim too. I want to thank Midwest Chassis for the bad *** suspension components to get me that 1.14 60'. I also ran 143 mph later in day when I cleaned up the tune..

I made some very very minor changes with weight and shock settings on the car, which finally put me into the 4's.....consistently all day. The tuneup I used for this little race was alot softer than the one at the LS fest where I carried the wheels out 150+ ft....

I've got a full prep track rental coming up in 2 weeks where I will be taking the training wheels off this thing.

And to think we are still really just shaking this car down... There's still quite a bit more left in it!
