That first race was funny, that car u raced was slow. what elevation is your track?

I think all our problem is launching. Might be going tommorow night. Im hopping to hit 14.7 at 5800ft. Bandimere raceway. I have tune, intake, cutout.

Not bad runs! Not to be an @$$ but from the looks of the end of the 3rd race I don't think you would have caught the GTO. Still all good runs though.
