Default My 2008 Follies V 1.0 My car hates me

1.31 60ft--100 shot wet plate with a second 100 shot on a switch. 2nd bottle was empty so I got 100 shot of spray and 200 shot of fuel



I couldn't even pedal right on this one. Broke out 11.78 on a 12.00 dial--I had the car on a 11.8 rope all weekend, but had to play games to go rounds. Sucks when you run into someone on their dial.



New intake setup doing shakedown runs. Notice the soft launch and short shifting. Short shifting was not done on purpose. This is my personal best in the car.






Here is my first backfire. I put a little more into the launch and decided to run it through the back door. The backfire happened shortly after the 2-3 shift. My buddy Stony is in the right lane and smacked the wall. Talk about alot of money in one run.




Here is the second backfire. I should have known things were gonna suck. From the beginning, the car pushes past the phucking brakes and it's like running from a roll. I took a little out of the launch on this one also.






I have plenty more. Let me do a little digging..........................
