Guess they musta prepped Orlando well and the air was good/killer.
BTW-you like how George's car leaves?? Man I see that all the time when he runs Gainesville Raceway with our team, makes me want to ask santa for that for x-mas <img src="graemlins/gr_xmas.gif" border="0" alt="[santa]" />

Thanks for the replies.

It's gonna be cold here in Orlando tomorrow night, I'm hoping for 11.4X <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

My tuning is also rich from 5K RPM to 7K <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> by the time it gets to 7K the A/F ratio is 11.3:1 <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

So I'm gonna play with the translator and see what happens

Joe I was running @ OSW...tonight was the last night for the year.

It was not my night, first pass spun like a bitch, second pass 1.60 60' but when I grabbed second my rear bumper was parallel to the guard rail <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> The third and final pass I missed 2nd and 4th and possibly hurt the 1-2 slider. <img src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" border="0" alt="[barf]" />

At least I lived to race another day!

Great job Richie.. I am happy to hear that you are alive.. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> You are still Da Man.. I wish I would have known there was a track open in Florida. I would have drove up to Orlando. It was 50 something degrees in Tampa.. I could have tried to get into the 11's... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
