Talking In da 7s

1st hit...spun 40' out.

2nd hit...lowered tire pressure 1/2 psi (A/F was FAAAATTTTTT...9.x:1 whole way down track - due to fuel change)
60ft-1.363
330ft-3.509
1/8-5.244
mph-142.52
1000ft-6.733
1/4-7.997
mph-177.88

Third hit...added more boost at launch and leaned the fuel map out...car drove to the right at launch and got out the groove and spun ~50ft out...but I pedaled it and legged it thru the 1/4 for fueling data:
even spinning about 1.1 seconds into the run it went a 1.33 60ft ...biggest surprise is that it picked up 48 freaking mph out the back door (123.26 to 171.14 mph )

BUT

probably wasn't the wisest thing to do...hit some other parts of the map due to the spinning and it hurt a head gasket...didn't push water but oil got milky
