Default Phil Thomas @ MIR 7.29 @ 194

After struggling with some new parts on the car friday night,we finally started to get a handle on the car sat.

first qual-blew off i/c tube
2nd qual-7.33 193 dropping 3 cyls top end
3rd qual-7.29 194 dropping 1 cyl top end
1st elim-7.33 193 dropping 1 cyl 2/3 of the pass
2nd elim-blew the tires off at the hit(bald spots on the track)196mph


not too bad for a single turbo lsx-car a plenty more left in it and should be fun next time out

we changed alot of stuff on the fuel system since last race,so the ve table was off and we were a little overly rich

+this was the first time on the 1/4 this year,we were in uncharted areas on the tune up.

I'm pretty happy, we've got less than 16 passes on the car and we're getting this **** figured out pretty quickly. I wish I had half the experience everyone else in outlaw radial has.

This was our 7.29 shot. We still have a ton left in it. We've been 163 to the 1/8 on a more agressive tuneup, this was alittle softer 157 to the 1/8. We're around .40 in, this was our 7.2 shot.
