New Personal Best ( 11/15/07 )
Went down to BMP with a old friend in from out of town tonight.
Got to the track around 5:30 and it looked like all hell was going to break loose with the front coming by.
About 6:30 the front passed, clouds went away, and the cool wind started !
First hit out of the gate with some shock setting and tire pressures changes I made it went a 9.55 @ 146.86 ( new best mph ) with a so so 60ft of 1.510 and spun a little out of the hole and pedaled it.
Made another hit around 7:00 and went a 9.82 and spun worse because I came out on a bunch of boost.
Then there was the last run on less boost.
The best part about this run was the altered dragster I ran in the other lane that of course treed me then I ran down and beat by .09 !
Can't imagine what he thought of that.
Anyhow I am pretty stoked and it was great to see what the car can do in less than 85 degree air temps. Tonights weather was pretty ideal.
I think I almost have a handle on the suspension settings, of course when I go back to the full slicks I am sure that will all change.
Can't wait to see the video Mitch shot.
And to think I still have a lot of boost left to go, more et to drop with better 60ft's, and I have still never touched the engine timing since firing it up.
Winter at the track is going to be fun this year.
