The Formula hasn't even come close to what it's capable of ! If I can get my race weight around , lets say 500 lbs then we'll talk ..
Oh , and about that nitrous guage .....

Congrats!

What about running a pusher system on it to keep the pressure up? Or did I miss something and it is already being used?

Your car ran pretty good for a bad launch, no tune,first time out,belt flying off, and a steering wheel in your lap.

I just wanted to thank everyone that was there and had a hand in helping us that day. Pretty much running all ends of an automotive shop basically by myself takes a toll on me physically. Then trying to get ready for a race at the same time and running in the event is like another full time job in itself. I'm ready to do it again and I sure hope you are too! Robert, Josh, Edgar, Larry, Steven, Brandon, Roy, Ernie, Rick and Kyle, I owe you guys a . Well Josh, you're limited to 2. Those damn Crown and Cokes are expensive!

We need 2 of these races per year in SA.
Hey Mike, When are we going to get those drinks?
