Default yesterday at the track

well last weekend i gutted the doors on the race car so aparently she was a little pissed at me heres a run down of the 4 runs i got in yesteray
#1 car leaves the line after a terrible bog starts to pull i let off the launch bottun hit 19psi and a charge pipe blows off time 18.01 :P
#2car leaves the line with a decent launch second fells very good third gear is not there takes about 2seconds to get in third gear i pull up to the time slip booth and the girl says " you know your bumper is falling off" sure enough the fat bitch was right the right hand slick grabbed the side of the bumper and melted it right off (rest off the season will be with out a bumper) time 14.5
#3 car feels awsome off the line let off the launch button and the boost goes to about 20psi at the top end of second car starts to pop badly so i cost threw the lights at a blistering 20 somthing at the end off the track i pull over and put the wheelie bars up and limp over to the time slip booth were the ar dies tow truck comes and takes me back to the pits this is were i start to diagnose the problem well aparently the 940cc injecters go threw fuel a bit faster than i thought and i realize i ran out of gas
#4 after getting fueled up i head up to the staging lanes felling a bit pissed off at my baby at this point iv turned up the boost and decided not to try to shift fast since i hade been having ttrouble getting in first in the staging lanes i also said ---- the launch control bottun and was going to throttle jocky it off the line after a half decent launch i grab second and the boost goes to 25psi (cool) i go for third and its still there (even cooler) fourth gear never lets me down and i trip the light at a decent 11.77 at 114mph at this point its so dark out i almost crash the car into the time slip booth (no head lights) on the way back upthe return road.
all in all the car ran decent never laoded up to the point were it wouldnt start. today im going to drain the tranny fluid and see how many sparkles come out

Sounds like a rough day at the track. The last run wasn't bad though. So what are your goals for this car eventually... 10's?

Out of all of that, I think the bitches comment would have pissed me off more than anything.
