Was down at Cecil on Saturday and what a blast it was!!!
Made 3 passes before I was told I had to leave. :biggrin:
First pass off the trailer, I left easy, maybe 4PSI off the foot brake to test the track. 1.80 60ft time, car pulled like an animal down the whole track. 10.74 @ 131! Damn, I am thinking to myself with a good launch this car is gonna run a good number. Next pass out I leave off the transbrake at probably around 13PSI. 1.50 60ft time. This pass was an ultimate rush, best feeling I think I have ever had in a vehicle going down the track. 10.35 @ 130!!! Man was I excited as hell! The car just ran so good and smooth! Only problem was I shifted into OD(by mistake) and I think that hurt me a little.
Next pass I did a nice big burnout and planned to leave a little harder. Well the tires didn't like that and I came out of the hole sideways with a 1.60 60ft time. Car pulled strong again to 10.46 @ 131. I was stopped at the end of the track told I need a roll bar if I want to go that fast.
So on the trailer she went.
Time to put the street tires on her and enjoy these last couple of weeks before the snow hits. I think over the Winter I may go with the Eagle stroker crank and rods kit. :wink: Time to ditch the stock crank and rods!
Special thanks to Otto Pernek for the great job on tuning. The car ran flawless! -Mat-
