Thanks, Steve. The car only had about 4 miles on it and a couple of hours of idle time trying to figure out some issues. They plugged in the program from the end of last year, didn't know how low the boost was and made a pass on thursday. It went 10.6 in the low 130s @ 21 lbs of boost and we were all happy campers. The next few passes were 10.3, 10.1 and 9.96 all at around 136mph. Never did get the car to hook. Best 60' was 1.5, last year he was pulling 1.39-1.45 the entire time. Another 10th off the 60' would put it in the 9.7 bracket and a little more tuning and maybe some boost and he might be able to compete with some of the bigger dogs. Ronnie was happy not to be "field fillers" this year.
When he lost to JW you'd have thought he was the winner the way our group reacted. Seeing a 9.8 and him pull a holeshot had us all fired up. He lost and our gang was smiling ear to ear. We don't get much help from the big tuners, so it was great to have laz step up and help us out.
