Few passes from yesterday Nothing too exciting really, about 80 degrees out and had a bunch of timing out (14 degres peak) and running the car a lot richer (11:1 or so) and got it slowed down to 9.40s. Max around 14psi of boost. Doing a couple 9.50 index races soon, I will say its a lot easier to slow it down then make it go faster 
Who says a blower car cant be consistant, 9.46 @ 145.3, 9.43 @ 145.7 and 9.42 @ 145.7..

Very nice runs. Straight and true. Are you able to lower the boost to make your 9.50 or will they allow .10 difference? What was your 60's. Again nice set-up. Water push days over ?
Good luck.
Good luck.

Yesterday the 60 foots were 1.310 or so, they take a dive when it gets hot out - not too much I can do about it with an A2A intercooler.
nice runs Kev!! Folks had no idea what you could have run had you wanted to 
You made it look easy to run those 9.4s I did not know it was THAT hot out....i did get some sunburn on my arms. Black car with black interior and firesuit...80 deg must have seemed like a/c when you got out of the car!!

The TAG said 2500' DA and 85 degrees but thats with the sun heating everything up. Real air temp was around 79 most of the day and the weather wasnt that bad with a nice breeze. You dont see me running much when it gets above 85 and the humidity goes up, it gets hotter then hell in the car, then add a 3 layer jacket, pants and gloves and it takes a lot out of you. Thats why I do most of the work on the car in July and August, air conditioned garage and its too hot for me to sit in that stupid car

But its 'real' racing season and not timeslip racing season so all I have to do is get it to run 6.0 in the 1/8 or 9.50 in the 1/4 which is no problem for the D1. Matter of fact I just came back from an 1/8 mile 6.0 heads up index race and ran a 6.001 and a 6.010, then slept at the tree and lost first round with a 5.96 @ 118 trying to catch the other guy, thats racing..

Yeah I havent been in close to two years, track needed some major work between the water box staging beams the last time i was there. I had HEARD they was going to concrete the 1/8 hearsay though i assume. I might come and check out your ride if im home, its came ALONG way since if seen it. It was wild though couldnt hardly hear the car run and it rip off high 9's.

They supposedly redid the whole track last year, the pic in my avatar was from october last year and it sure was hooking. It didnt seem that much different but they supposedly did concrete to the 1/8.
obZidian, here is the first pass from a slightly different perspective, looks a little quicker.
