Wed. test n tune
Curtis and I took the Bird to Gainesville raceway last night to make a few passes. It was cold by our standards; first run at 48 degrees and last one at 35 degrees. Very dry air,and I was told that the density altitude was -1300! Mineshaft conditions but track was cold and we had some traction issues on all runs but not to bad after several hours of cars going down the track. Managed an 11.65 on the last pass but 60' was still off about .05 from our best. Anyway, I'll take it over the blistering hot days that we usually have to race in down here.
