Im not sure I only saw him make one pass and he got out of it. I think just 11s at 130+. Lots of car were having issues do to the extreme heat and the greesy track just not holding the power.

If you wanted to know the results asap then you should have come out and SUPPORTED everyone and you would already know. Almost all of us drove well over 12hr to get home. **** I left at 9am and got home after 12am from the tropical storm that was hitting.

Val I did not have a chance to meet you but you car is sick and is very close to my own car. Wish I new you were having issues because I went just to support and help fix cars. I was.all over helping anyone I could. Ill look for you next year I guess.

Hopefully you'll try and stick with what you got, get it figured out and make some decent passes this fall.

holy ****! my apologies.lol very nice car and it ran good.
that kinda shocked me that your a female.lol
and the weather today in kentucky is 70 deg. sucks that it waited until the event was over to be this nice, the rain brought a cold front in.
BG's track is usually pretty decent for traction, it looked like some people had great traction while others struggled.
i know that Red turbo lt1, 6speed was breaking loose the entire track.

Now that theres no rush to get the new set up in, Ill will def be hitting the track this fall.
I also noticed on 28s I need to shift into 5th NA and on spray im like at 6k through the traps. So the gearing is way off. That plus the crap 60fts have been killing me. Also Im not sure if it was the nasty heat but theres no way in hell I was getting the full 200shot I was running. It only felt like it hit right once. So I need to work on the N20 tune up.
Lots of testing to do and now that its cooling off I wont dread going to the track.

My car had a lot of issues, mainly running pig rich. Moe took a look at the tune and saw that the driver side o2 was seeing air and causing the pcm to dump fuel. (I still owe him some beer!). He said there wasn't anything he could do and that is was probably a mechanical issue ie, header gasket, faulty o2, etc. It was safe to run though being rich. If any of you guys saw me in the staging lanes you'll remember that I kept revving the crap out of my motor to try to keep it from fouling up. It worked so-so. My best was a 10.78 at 125.55, had a few runs in the 10's and 2 runs just over 11, at 11.02 and 11.05. Still had a freakin blast, and I will be back next year to bring some pain to the Mod N/A class again!
