Default First 8 sec pass

Ran the first pass with the F1X tonight at our no-prep event. Per my datalog I ran 158.4mph, I know it's not the most accurate but it should be around a 8.6x pass and not bad for the first time out on 20.3lbs of boost. I have even messed with adjusting the suspension yet, that will be done before the next race though to try and get those times faster. Plan on going Friday when they have the times on and get an 8 second slip for actual proof. This is also the first time I pulled the chute, wanted to know what it felt like.

Thanks, on Fridays the track hooks pretty good but this was on a Sunday street drag event, no prep and the track was slick as snot that night.

Yea it's something they just started on Sundays, no-prep event. I think because they had some truck event on Saturday it tore the track up pretty good, it usually hooks a lot better than it did
