Default The little engine that could......

But didn't.

All in all it was a good night. Nothing broke and I didn't get hurt. Although I didn't hit my goal that I've been chasing for over 3yrs I did get a new best. Kinda like being on the 5 yard line and getting a first down. lol. It was nice meeting HAVOC, 01 Ram Air, BluMachine, and I think I spoke to Reckless Mustang. Now I did get my ass kicked by 01 Ram Air, ChevPower, and a GN. But it was fun.

Mph was down a little but my 60ft were good. Best three passes were:

R/T- .230
60'- 1.55
330'- 4.89
1/8- 7.65
mph- 88.83
1/4- 12.04
mph- 111.59

R/T- .607
60'- 1.55
330'- 4.87
1/8- 7.62
mph- 89.07
1/4- 12.01
mph- 111.59

Let the car cool down for a bit and they made the last call for staging lanes so hopped back in the car and lined up against ChevPower.

R/T- .398
60'- 1.63
330'- 4.92
1/8- 7.67
mph- 89.29
1/4- 12.04
mph- 112.24 <- Why couldn't I have that mph on that other pass.

I figured my mph went up cause I spun and the track was going so I gave it hell the last pass. ChevPower's tail lights look neat going down the track as he ripped off a 10.01 pass.

So now I'm gonna try and find some more weight out of the car and do a few changes. -Mark

Well I think I'm gonna look for a fiberglass hood. I think I did run with too much gas (1/2 tank) so I'm sure that didn't help any. Remember 1 gallon of gas is 6lbs. I talked to little Dave today and he said one weekend he'll come over with the saw zaw and he'll find some way to get it lighter. -Mark
