I don't know what it was doing at Cecil, but it was like Hurricane Katrina up here tonight.

It was hot as **** down there but no rain and small crowd. I made 7 passes. Hot lapped 3 let the car cool down for 30 min then hot lapped 4 passes.

Best pass of the night was a 10.7@130mph with a 1.588 60'

Also had a personal best 1.537 60' (but I missed 3rd going down the track) Very excited that I have figured out how to launch the car. Prior to tonight my best 60' was a 1.68

I made the 2 1.5x 60's and 2 low 1.6x 60's tonight.

I have some video I will post up tomorrow.

I also met intercooler2 and 1fastbird for the first time at cecil tonight

Nice meeting you too. I saw Chris's pass as I was heading out. That car is unloading in a hurry once he launches.

He's thinking after looking at pics, that it's hitting the bump stops and unloading the suspension right away

If that's the case, then I'll probably just hold off til Saturday. I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be very humid.
