Default Denver track finally opened!

First pass 12.067 w/ 1.64 sixty. I was uncertain how it would run so I went with the slower group of cars and track prep was shitty. My 60' time should be down in the 1.5's. N/A I'm sure I could get an 11 outta it easy, but I had it set for the bottle this day.

Second pass a played with shocks some to help sixty and opened the sauce up....10.83 @ 130 mph. With a 1.60 sixty. Now that's the MPH I'm looking for, never had that power last year. Sixty is still a little sluggish, but damn that was a fun ride! Never sparayed it outta the hole. It's a progressive system, so I started spraying 100 1.6 seconds from WOT, then ramped it to 200 within 9 seconds. Not a complete 200 shot yet and I already have my 10. I'm impressed so far.

Third run made a few more tweaks to the shocks and ramped it from 130 to 200 within 8 seconds this time. Picked up alot more...10.54 @ 131 mph. My sixty was a 1.56, now that is what I expect from N/A sixty. Wind was terruble all day long and I'm thinking that it wasn't as bad this time and that may be why i picked up so much ET and an increase in MPH. ???

Fourth pass ramped from 130 to 200 within 7 seconds and got a 10.44 @ 132 mph my sixty was about the same 1.55. All in all it was an awesome day and best of all the car still runs!

Bottle pressure was always around 600-700 psi. not exactly ideal, but I have no bottle heater now and it was damn cold with the wind. Next time out I'm gonna spary it off the line and start playing with some bigger hits. Should be able to get a 9 this year, uncertain if I will untill the end of the year though...car and driver are not certified.

Nice runs, especially for the DA you're running in! Good luck find more et, she should have 2-3 tenths more if you bring in the juice quicker
