heres the video but except for the numbers of the scoreboard it doesnt look all that different then the others I've posted

I could come up with a long list of 'thanks to' but there is just too many. Mainly Bob at EPP, Kurt at W2W, Mark at procharger, John Meany who tunes my car every pass via the most excellent BS3, SDCE for a kickass drive setup (1.5 year old belt on it), Jeremy (forcefed98) for building the IC pipes and IC mount which are still working after three years and many others.

But I have to thank my wife the most for putting up with this crap, if it wasnt for her I would have sold this thing off 6 months ago. I dont know if she just likes the car or didnt want to me start over and spend the money again lol.
probably the latter

Just better weather? Any changes?

Congrats!!!

Didnt really do anything after Memphis except take out a little fuel I added there since I was bracket racing it, still the same maximal race gas I bought at Memphis too. I knew if I could the F1A out in some cooler weather it would run pretty decent and it didnt disappoint.

We'll see, not sure what I'm doing right now, one more charity 1/8 race in a couple weeks and I'll go through the trans and swap engines and rear gears and see what happens.

Awesome job Kevin. It's very cool how you stuck with basically the same setup and kept making passes on it. You are THEE superman of 8 second bracket cars. Good luck with the new engine.

Not sure if its cool or I'm just too cheap or lazy to change it But I just dont believe in upgrading/changing anything until I get the most I can out of it.
