I was fighting traction off the line all night and the 2-3 shift kept hitting the limiter. I think the limit on my DRs has been reached unfortunately. Time to shop for some new tires. I have to get with ECS about the 2-3 shift points and I should be good after that. I did gain almost 2 mph in the 1/8. All in all I don't think it's that bad to be .027 off my best spinning and hitting the 2-3 limiter a few times on the first time back out.

An outside vid of my 10.42 pass. Wind noise gets a little crazy on this one......sealed case an all.

What was the DA of last year's pass?

60 - 1.410, 1/8 - 6.498 @ 104.76, 1/4 - 10.246 @ 133.39
60 - 1.498, 1/8 - 6.562 @ 105.66, 1/4 - 10.273 @ 132.76

Comparing these two, you have a pretty big improvement once you can hook well again...you're 60's were almost a tenth off and your ET was almost identical.

Car is running consistently and as mentioned, you should see a nice improvement once you get the details panned out. I'm jelly of the ET lol.

[Jersey Mike]

Congrats. But I gotta ask, did Matt tune this car?

DA on the best was -500 to -600. DA last night at the time I ran the 10.27 was -1700 lol. DAMN YOU NO TRACTION AND SHIFT POINTS lol. Could have been an interesting end of the night had everything worked.

Thanks Brian. I hope I have another chance, but summer is coming fast.

Are you shipping out again?? I'm waiting until Fall/Winter to give it another go. Hopefully I won't need to make any excuses. With the changes I'm making, it should at least be an improvement.

That is generally how it works, the track acts as if its longer.

Great times, Rob.

I added new gears since last time so I couldn't hook well. Yep, she was spinning.

Thanks Vin. No, he's doing things slow. Should be within a year or two.
