Delay from technical difficulties.
I took off work for the race saturday, I had everything ready on the car. Car was washed, truck and trailer were washed and loaded.....and the weather just wouldn't cooperate. Friday night all cleaned up we sat in the garage hoping things would clear for the race the next morning....

They decided to postpone the race till the afternoon and around lunchtime when we thought the weather was going to break we headed to the track. That didn't work out and we ended up coming home dripping wet and the race postponed.

Around midnight the weather finally got moving and they had a fresh water logged track to prep for an early AM race day.

Sunday morning the weather was fantastic, temp in the 60s, and DA ranged from negative 400 or so to around 500 last time I checked.

Fastest pass of the day, but I only ran 3 times. It went .08, .09, .08 in that order.

The red one is a good buddy's (hence how I got his footage off his go-pro) and the other is a local guy that a bunch of people know and I asked them what his mods were so I could include the info in the video.

During normal driving you wouldn't notice the car had drag suspension, it actually rides pretty nice. In a panic maneuver or driving crazy you would probably figure it out, but I drive accordingly. I pay more attention to my surroundings, I don't tailgate on the highway, and generally don't do anything stupid so I've had good luck. The drag rear bar with the rod ends is a little noisy and the chassis mounted torque arm lets me know I have a little gear whine but other then that its pretty pleasant to drive actually.
