The good news is that I love a 2100' plus DA for the first passes. It can only get better from here

Was chasing a very greasy track and spent a lot of time hazing the tires. Madman will have that straightened out soon enough and the short times will be back.

3 full passes -

60 - 1.60
9.79 @ 146

60 - 1.58
9.77 @ 145

60 - 1.55
9.62 @ 146


NLP put me together the bullet that makes some great power. Madman will put me in the land of hook. And I'm going through enough dope to keep Nitro Dave proud.

Looking Good Erik...Im proud....

I hear ya Tony. BTW, I keep serving Dave mind erasers so he forgets.

I'll have to get it on the scales to firm it up but I'm thinking close to 3300.

Glad to see you finally got some runs on the car with all the crappy weather we`ve been having. Maybe you`ll need to get to Bradenton or Gainsville for better track conditions.
