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

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