oops i failed, I uploaded the vid earlier but forgot to post it here *fail*

anyways it was good meeting some more of you and seeing some cars run. mine was a big load of fail. couldn't get any traction with these tires. should have bought my slicks. next time, next time

here's blingole's 6.9 pass, close up on the launch to see if he gets a tire up. you can decide for yourself I thought the quality would be better. it is great during the day, but night time seems to hurt the resolution

yeah like I was saying that night you can see the whole left side of the car lift. do you have a 2-step? that would be the best way to launch it. you can set it for the rpm where you start to spool that way you are consistently launching in boost off the transbrake.

sounds like a possibility. well, blingole(aka mike) had a bad night at the track last night. rain clouds came out of nowhere, so he wanted to atleast get one pass in. got a good launch, and was pulling strong, until the hood flew up. smashed in the windshield, and messed up the hood pretty good. i got it on video, so I'm working on trying to get it to cooperate with me in getting it edited together

Are you getting it tuned with the spray or just motor? I have not put my nitrous back on yet and don't think I will get to it by Thursday but we will see. Maybe I will go and make some motor passes if I don't get it all back together.

Nice meeting you today. I need you to get me a price on a couple parts since you work at a dealer! The top part of my dash is all cracked to hell and back.

One thing for sure, my car is NOT a dyno queen. We'll see what is does when I hit the track, weather pending.
