Default New best

Another happy story for us nitrous junkies...

Last night I went out to make my final license runs and needed to run 9.99 or better for my 2 full passes. First full pass the car stood straight up and I short shifted to get it out of the clouds and ran the car from the 60' through the traps in top gear (powerglide). Was pleasantly surprised to see the timeslip was a 9.88. Final pass the wheels carried out nice and smooth to a 1.34 60' and a new personal best of 9.78 @ 133.

Car info:
H&C, stock bottom end
175 shot
3225 raceweight

Pretty healthy cam - big duration (mid 240s) but moderate lift (under 600).

i think a .000 is a perfect light now at OSW, because I was there last night and redlighted, and my slip says -.010 (or maybe i set a new record for world's worst reaction time ). sweet runs next, in the last pass i saw you make i think i could fit under your car standing up (BIG wheelie)

Dave - Not RED, as Turo said the track has switched over to .000 timing.

Turo - yeah, that makes for a wild ride, but I want to keep it down to go faster.

Charlie - Thanks for the update
