Kevin,
I just wanted to tell you the car was awesome
yesterday. It was hooking and trying to set the car on
the bumper!!! I let off on the first pass. It came up
quick. I let off and it came down and got the headers but
didn’t bend anything luckily. So I ran a little more
air in the tires to try to get them to spin a lil bit. It
would be spinning but wheeling at the same time tires
probably about 1.5ft up in the air. Cutting 1.30-1.31's
that way.
Car ran a 9.24@144 on the
150's with a 1.307 60' in 93* heat and track temp of 135*
I have a vid soon to be up. Then yesterday evening
I ran a 10.5 1/8 race.
First pass car tried to get up high again and I let off
the n2o button and cut a 1.39 60'.
Second pass I put more air in the tires and cut a 1.30
60'
Third pass no changes ran a 1.30 60'.
Last pass I let a lil air out of the tires and planned to
ride this one out. Cut a
1.302 60' ON THE REAR TIRES!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!
Then disaster struck. The car in the other lane won the
race just after the 1/8 he crossed the center line in
front of me and I nearly t-boned him. His car bounced off
the wall and clipped my driver’s rear quarter panel
and put me into the wall also.
I am ok and will fix the car or build another. Here are
pics of the car. I have some good wheelie picks I’ll
get to you.

all i can say is WOW what a rush. this thing is hooking

side still but seems to be going straight mostly. Maybe a
little movement to the right.
Thats just a short update. It's time to start tuning this
thing now that it is going straighter!!!!
I THINK ITS TIME FOR A REAL ARB!!!!!!
BIG THANKS TO KEVIN @ BASELINE SUSPENSIONS
