Yea, the car was running REALLY weird today... i think the DA had something to do with it, and my lack of experiance with carb tuning.
made 6 runs tonight and had a BLAST. This car is so awsome, i can't wait to tune it and see what it can really do. Tonight, i found out that my passenger side muffler was being held on by one bolt, and a whole lotta luck, so i removed it for the rest of the night(2 passes)
I really wanted to break 11's tonight, but after my last run i threw my belt clean off, and the temp. hit about 250
I'm guessing it threw it right after i crossed the traps. The pressure was so much the burst seal on the bottem of the catch can blew off, thus causing an EXTREME mess, and alot of frustration.Best R/T was .017
Best pass was the final one
R/T .237 (they messed up on the tree, i wasent even stalled up)
60' 1.751
330 4.982
1/8 7.733
mph 89.10
1000 10.117
1/4 12.139
MPH 111.15
BIG thanks to John(Mrdragster1970) for the use of his suit, I really cant thank you enough, I owe ya one!
It is a new car and you have some issues to work out; it happens. Glad to see you at least made some clean passes and got some baseline runs in.
Did you see my in the red Jeep driving by and honking when you pulled in?

spazman....it's a new combo and your tune on the carb tonight compared to a cooler night will be completely different anyways. I'm sure with time and possibly a wideband you could lower the tuning time involved on each track day considerably. Eventually get that 60' down to 1.5s or lower and you'll drop your ET by .3-.5 as well right there. Glad it went straight and no issues in that area.

Any time you make it home in 1 piece is a good night of racing. Keep at it, and with a little better traction you will get your 11. Last time I checked my weather station it was 3600', so it'll come. Nice meeting you & your family.

Gorgeous car by the way. Makes both of my 2nd gen's look like crap.
