Laid down 1,822 on 41-42 psi on my dynojet. I figured it was ready to rock! I didnt upload any videos to youtube yet because we were so far behind we didnt have time to make them decent. So Dick and I are editing through tons of footage now!

Rental/test day started out great. I went a personal pb on the first pass. As I applied power I spun the rest of the day. Somehow I overlooked the drivers shock having no rebound. It was bad out of the box/from the drive down to florida. I wasted the whole first day band aiding and pulling power back out to get it down. Was expecting hiccups but got discouraged quick.
Day 2 I tore the whole car apart looking for someone wrong and boom. Found the shock wasnt responding to changes with a jack. We googled what we hoped was a localish company to repair it. We got in contact with Competative suspension in bradenton florida. MEt the owner Dave Connelly and he whipped us back into shape overnight.
Day 3 we ran into lovely florida high winds cutting the track out for 5 hours. Just as it calmed and they started running the rain came for 15 minutes ending the evning.

Om the first successful pass we lost the hood at 177 mph lol.
The carbon seperated layers and the top started flapping. I didnt lift so it flew off in two pieces once that air got between the layers lol

I worked my way through the day time running 4.teens and worked my way up the ladder of the n/t small tire class. I wasnt intending on posting slips but my friends insisted that I went in the class. I cruise controlled through to the finals with 4.125-4.146's and being the hydraulic roller record was previously 4.129 ... I had to post the slip as I just so happen to squeek by ole John Doc just barely on the first day out with working shocks. Sorry guys. So much for the n/t classes for the rest of the year lol

I had a 7.5 psi leave, 1.2 second boost ramp, and 45 pounds of boost from 1.4 seconds on. We have some awesome data, the car needs nothing but another hood, and we made a few bucks to put towards the trip.

In short, I busted my *** the past two months. Beyond beliefs. But missing on the 2023 race season over the heads absolutely killed me. Life is short and time is money. So I couldnt afford to waste anymore time.
I couldnt be happier with this machine than I am right now. It did exactly what I dreamed it was on its first outing. What a week!

Sorry for the delays of updates for those who waited. Ill do a few more little things to it but really excited for spring us131 rental and testing! I think getting it to the 3's is totally in realm, and possibly will be easier than I hoped it would!

Thanks for following guys! Ill have some updates in a month or so!
