First time out this year with the sticky tires/subframe connectors and the fuel issues resurfaced. I cut a couple 1.8 60s on a better track and cooler day but it would sputter at 300 feet.

I ran a best of I think 8.3 but way down on mph due to the half track stall. 82 MPh IIRC

So the new numbers posted about are with sticky tires and the FI style fuel system.

It’s improving. I still don’t have any kinda of traction device other than a couple clamps on the leaf springs.

I’m building an actual drag car so I’m not trying to make this thing a race car. But I would REALLY like to be able to call it a legit 11 second car. Which I think is feasible.
