First Track Outing This Year
Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2014 7:17 pm
Has taken forever to get the car ready this year, but finally made it out a couple of weeks ago.
Made four passes on a Wednesday night at Gateway here in St. Louis. 9.71, 9.48, 9.43 @ 142.6 (personal best) and 9.51. Could not get the car to 60-ft but wheelie bars (new for this year) are probably low and I am not transferring the weight. Car is very consistent and it is the safest I have ever felt. Launched straight as an arrow every pass. It was very exciting to get back out there - my 14yr old son and I had fun! Shifted at 9,300 and left line between 7,200 and 7,500.
First two are low and high quality from outside the car. Last is from in-car (my Replay XD1080 camera's mic has bit the dust - I think my car killed it LOL).
