Thanks to Paul and Brandy for hosting alll of us this weekend. It was a short stay but also alot of fun. Was good to see everybody that showed up.
As far as the racing goes, I still couldn't beat Paul. He is just too good.
Track was very busy and several hours only netted 3 runs. |

| Glad you made it home safely. It was fun to go racing, even though we didn't get a lot of runs in. I had a blast. |

I had two 15.1@ 95mph runs. The Last yielding me a .071 Reaction time, and a 2.53 60' time.
The last runs were seperated by literally .8 Mph and .001 second.
I should bracket race....
It was smoking something fierce after that. Turns out I'd caughed out the oil dipstick tube up and some was splashing on the headers. Didn't catch it until I got home yesterday. _________________

Here is a quick and dirty version of the video. It was meant for size, so it is really low quality and it converted it to 4:3 instead of 16:9. I'll post up a good version of it when I get it.
HERE YOU GO. |

| My best run for the night was a 14.505@95.93mph. Actually managed to keep it floored till after the finish line that time lol. .The last run I halved my reaction time.. 0.484.. guess I got some work to do there. I think I may have a little more in this combo with some premium gas instead of 87. The last run felt good, but was pinging terribly. .so the ecm had to be pulling timing. Could also use a stall convertor, I can't spin or even chirp the tires at all on the track. |
