Default New track time.

Went racing in the Sat brackets. Lost 1st rd of course heh. I showed up a little late so only got 1 time run in. She went 8.18 @ 88mph. Crap launch and a shitty 1.99 60' so I got to scratchin my head. Going into rd 1 I knew something was up as after the run I came back and my left slick was REAL low. Lost 6psi on the run. I guessed it was spinning the slick on the rim so I marked it for rd1. I figured I would lose anyways (no time runs basicaly and bugs)so turned down my launch limit and slapped a 7.97 dial on the window. My first mistake was a .488 redlight so I stayed in the throttle and broke out anyways with a 7.94 @ 92mph and an even worse 2.05 60'. After the run I checked my mark and it spun the slick on the rim a good 3 inches off the shoe polish.

Next track plans. Taller slicks, bead locking rims, finaly get around to putting the 660cc injectors in and turning up the boost This was at 16-17psi and a conservative 11.7ish:1 a/f btw. Tons of hp left on the table.

Yeah I know. I am sure it will run a decent time as 3rd and 4th gear is where it gets "happy" :P Damn local 1/8th miles
