Default Stenod Performance Weekend Race Report - Oct 15 2005

We'd like to thank everyone that came out and had fun at the event with us. Special thanks to the Ohio Boys for the food and the great racing. That definitely hit the spot. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and said hello as well.

We have one more open track day for the year at Milan Dragway on October 22nd if anyone is interested. It is being put on by Motown Muscle. Shortly after the event we are going to be back at the shop for our open house from 2PM to 9PM. Feel free to stop by and check things out. There's bound to be more than one surprise waiting in the shop to be discovered.

Ok, on with the videos! http://stenodracing.com/news/102005/10152005.html

Good traction in the first 60'. Not so great up top as the track had relatively no heat in it. End of the year here and a relatively small event wouldn't necessarily compel them to spray to whole track. Considering a majority of the cars there were on street tires, it's not like it was anything major to prep for. They had a few passes where the 2-3 gear change would haze the tires.

Hopefully they can come out to Milan on Saturday and get some runs in on a relatively solid track. Add in some mineshaft air conditions and no headwind I think they could run some better numbers.

We turned the boost down and were running straight off the WG spring and backed the timing down. The car was still spinning up top. Even the yellow tank was getting squirley up top. First pass I made I had to abort because of it. The first 60' was good the rest of the track was slick.

We'll see you guys on Saturday. With both cars kicked up a notch.

Both your team cars are bad ***. That was the first time I've seen them in person. I'm actually glad to read that your cars were both loose on the top end, maybe that means my car will be safe at Milan on saturday.

Well one of those will be fixed by saturday

Looking at that video, it did the same exact thing that the black formula did at the top end. I know that car makes way more power than mine but they're saying the yellow car did it too, which is probably a lot more like mine. I just want it to go straight so we can turn the boost up
