Just got back from the track. We did not get any really useable data but here goes...
* Weight 2975 without driver full fluids
* no track prep - glued/tire dragged first round nothing after
* Switched to 5psi springs in the gates
* Ran 3psi of C02 on the gates for the launch and 5psi 1.5 seconds in
* Made 3 1/8 mile passes on low boost 10psi
* Made 3 1/4 mile drift passes - had to pedal 4 times to get it down the track
* Fastest pass was 9.4 @ 165, 10# of boost, 1.60 60',
* Fastest 1/8 mile was 6.2x @ 123 on 10# of boost, pedaling it also 2x before 1/8 mile
* Q16 stinks bad and needs to be richened up 6-7%
* I'm initally thinking we need to hit the tires harder and loosen up the front.
* Car went straight as an arrow liked to spin the tires everywhere
We've got a couple of things to address and than we'll head back out. The car had easy 8.50s @ 10# of boost. I've got some videos but they are not the best. I'll try and post the good sections of the runs.

It'll be interesting to see how the power band looks when you turn the boost up. Peak power at 5,500 is with only 20 hp variation up to 7500 is awesome, talk about a flat curve.

Saw the video looks like it is leaving too soft, one thing my friend told me that runs in the drag radial class is that you have to hit the tire good and keep the power applied, they don't seem to work too good when you ramp the power in slow.
Either way it's gonna fly sooner or later, glad you had some fun

i think some super stock guys put a second set of brakes on their cars with another line lock and put a timer on it and let it release so many seconds in so they can control wheel speed on bad tracks.... they do this because they arent allowed programmable boxes...
i'd say before too long he will have a digital box in the car... these small tire cars are just a pain in the *** when you dont have all the bells and whistles to control wheel speed/power all the way down the track...

No Kyle, you need longer legs so your midget *** body can actually push the brake pedal to the floor. You could equip your car with all the handicap hand controls and it would have solved that problem. Of course if your seat were any farther forward you'd be sitting next to your turbo.
You're small, you know S M ALL small
Had to do it

We're moving again...
Ordered:
2nd set of Aerospace 4 piston calipers for rear, brackets, and pads
Proportioning Valve
Residual Valve
brake lines
Picked up:
Front headlight support, broke last pass at the track
Toggle switch to turn on the logger
Changed:
Added 3 stages to boost controller
Added a couple % of fuel to the VE
Added 1" of travel up front
Hopefully we can get the car finished tuesday or wednesday so we can make some passes again this friday. We will also try to scale the car and figure out where to add 200#.
