New Personal best at Cecil Saturday Well I went to Cecil this Saturday to make some more passes in the car and see if I could run an 8 on a track that doesn't hook as well as MIR
1st pass off the trailer and waiting out a small rain delay. Exact same tune up as my 8.89@154 pass at MIR 2 weeks Prior. Car spins hard on the launch. I ran it out the back door just to make sure things where ok
2nd pass I dropped the launch psi down to 7 psi from 9psi results
60' 1.476
1/8 5.845@124.68
1/4 8.989@156.15
car felt good launch seemed a little dog is so next pass I raised the launch boost to 8 psi
3rd pass spun hard again and aborted the run
4th pass I dropped the launch psi back down to 7 psi but I upped the down track psi to 15
60' 1.384
1/8 5.690@125.60 <best 1/8 mile
1/4 8.810@157.34
5th pass Same setting as last pass. Spun again and aborted
6th pass dropped the launch rpm by 100 rpm just to help traction
60' 1.414
1/8 5.703@126.41
1/4 8.807@157.91
7th pass raised the down track boost to 16 psi
60' 1.415
1/8 5.704@126.93
1/4 8.796@158.61 <--new best 1/4 pass
I had a great day and I am more than please with the results from the car. I am happy to put the car away for the winter now and no the I have exceeded my goals for the year with the car.
Video from Saturday is still uploading I will post it up once done
Here are a couple pics that Denmah took.
And a pic I took at home after cleaning it up and before going on a cruise

I think I am done for the season. If I do decide to go back out it will be in a few weeks. I have spent $175 in track fees in the last 3 weeks 400 miles of driving plus fuel in the car and truck. I need to let me wallet recoupe a little
