Finally went racing today

As long as the weather holds out I will be testing out my new tune from Trifecta performance and the new BFG drag radial I have had for two weeks. It is only test and tune but I hope to get in a few good runs. Wish me luck.

Well only got four runs in between the rain showers My first run was on stock tires to see what kind of difference I got with the tune from trifecta performance wasn't all I thought it would be but it did help My best time last year with the stock tune was 14.860 @ 96.93 trap speed and today it was 14.813 @ 98.03 so about 1 MPH gain. Now the biggest improvement was with the Drag radials I was able to pull a 14.432 @ 97.67 I even broke lose at the light and hit the rev limiter right before the trap. So all in all I broke my best time twice today. O and so every one knows the track is at ~2500Ft of elevation.
