Default New personal best tonight

Decided to go to the track tonight and am glad I did. Went 9.38 @145 with a 1.34 60' off the trailer. Then backed it up with a 9.48 @ 144 and a 1.40 60'.

Was a pretty good night even though I had to quit after the second run. It doesn't pay to have a 6 year old out on a school night!

I got home and realized my left rear tire was completely flat? Still didn't ruin my good night though!

Awesome job Chad. Should be interesting when you decide to turn the boost controller on. I still can't believe how good your car is running off the wastegate (10psi). Can you imagine how that thing would feel if you leave at 8-10psi instead of 4.

My goal is 8.50 eventually. Low to mid 9's will be fast enough for this year.

Got a few more things to figure out before I turn the boost up. First one being why my damn tire went flat....... I think 15psi should net a high 8 sec. run. ?????

I gotta say a 1.34 60' felt like being shot out of a cannon.

Only ran once hit a 13.0@113 lol. 2.5 60' and spinning the whole way. It was my first time launching the car with the new setup and street tires didnt help at all.
