[ta man]

As most know from Derek's thread..the car dipped into the ten's yesterday.Identical tune to last time,I haven't checked the DA but it would be close..the only difference was the launch and the track stayed good.The 60 fts really surprised and shocked me.
Instead of listing the warm and fuzzy best runs I will list each run in order

60ft 1/8th mph 1/4 mph
1 1.6760 7.1731 98.86 11.1311 122.58 cold car spun
2 1.6840 7.1810 97.84 11.1571 122.63 spun
3 1.5731 7.0551 98.25 11.0212 122.89 hit rev limiter in first
4 1.5922 7.0548 98.27 11.0239 123.01 hit rev limiter again
5 1.6676 7.1529 98.24 11.1217 122.93 pushed tires staging
6 1.6339 7.0849 99.14 11.0378 122.67 lower launch hit shiftpoint
7 1.5843 7.0464 99.08 10.9982 122.58 good launch crappy lane
8 1.5670 7.0030 98.65 10.9509 123.60 good launch better lane

The 60 foots with the gearing surprised me..but the car loves leaving at 2000 to 2500 rpm feels like a train hits the back of the car.
The first 10 second run I asked a guy with a Javelin for a race he was trying for 10's too..but had more gear and lighter and was 60'ing in the low 1.5's to high 1.4's..this was added motivation.I let him have the better lane that the prefer the slick or drag radial cars use...I used the less prepped lane and dirtier lane...I made sure I did a good burnout...we both redlit me with a -.06 him with a -.08...when I went around him at 100 ft I knew I had a good run...I thanked him after for the race..told him he gave me incentive to run quick.

It was a great day as always it seems at St Thomas Raceway Park..great to hang out with CNC Chris...and a couple others who always seem to gather around us..
