Had an amazing night tonite - I ran exactly what I was expecting (again) and I still have a bit more power in the car. I dropped a little over eight tenths off my previous best. My tires are still spinning a good deal on the launches - I’m not great at working launches the stall yet but I was very consistent in my suckiness floating between a 2.1 and 2.2 60ft. I knew going into it I couldn’t launch worth crap.
Next time out in a couple months I’ll be sporting some drag radials and possibly a bit different suspension setup.
I also get dumb move of the night award. After turning my tires over a bit I left my car in first and launched the best of the nite… only I left my car in first so umm I didn’t go that fast when I hit the rev limiter. I let off, shifted it into drive and putt putted to the pit road. Ha ha what a loser!
Big thanks to Jamie Z for running the camera and taking some KILLER video… I’ll post it up when I’m able to compress ‘em a bit.


Congratulations on your run. The cool weather probably helped out a bunch as well.
For sure, last year’s runs were done in October or November I think when it was reeeally cold - so maybe I’ll improve even more w/ the colder weather coming up! (all three days of it that we’ll get)
