I finally got the car working as its supposed to,on the 2nd pass[we only got 3 due to oil and water downs  ] it ran straight and true,with only a contolled wheelie in first and second,the clutch hooked like its supposed to,maybe a little to hard still but better than the slipping we have had trouble with since shipping it to USA,it ran 9,73@139mph with 1.42 60 foot and 6.18@ 112mph at the 1/8 which is only 6 hundreths of my best and with the track and air temp causing the adjusted altitude to go way up high it was like being on top of a mountain  its still down on power a little as its running rich but safe,next is Sacremento but maybe some more testing at irwindale first,heres the video,no sissy sticks needed now

I told you the Wheels had lifted too and you were like nah, Really ?!?! it was a great run for both you and Richie, although i seem to think Richies looked more like a 10. 2 ? Well done guys !

Look on the bright side, at least it wasn't a nacho... Yeah, the nacho would have tasted worse And I think Richie's pass looked more like a 10.88... Told you our tracks weren't shorter. |
