Default Went to the track last night *video*

Welp, i got out there last night, my buddy with the 68 brought his as well.

Got a best of 12.98 @ 105 The DA was a little over 2500ft or so, track elevation is 593ft so corrected times were in the 12.60's which id be quite happy with if i can do so in good air.

Bummed i totally forgot to try my Nitrous tune... tuner said knock sensors over compensating could be causing the car to run better on the n20 vs na tune so i had meant to test that theory. Car is very different now, 60' was basically the same flash vs footbraking except flashing it feels like a turd, i didnt go with the intent to cut lights but got it was slow flashing. Footbrake it was instant and felt stronger. Previous best NA was 13.44 @104 in mid November, night time great air about 36* out lol. The 68 went 12.40's and cracked a 12.30, it was his first time out.

I'm car 19, i'll be rolling my fenders this weekend and going to a 28" tire

Not bad. It should trap 110ish with good air. When are you going to spray it?

I was hoping to be a little deeper in the 12s even with this mid summer air but we'll see. Waiting on ok from tuner to start testing nitrous

Congrats,..... talk about consistent 60ft times. I wish I could do that lol.

And yes, I think you'll be an easy mid to lower 12's once set up and in good air.

Then on to the 11's with the gas....

I've decided to stay on a 26 for at least the rest of this season. It hooked 90% with 30lbs of air at the track and doing some calcs i dont care for my rpm drop at the traps with the 28s right now. So for the street event i have coming up i'll just air wayyyy down and cross my fingers lol.

Also, i want to get that 60' down more. This car has always been super consistent in every field. I dont think i was going to get any more out of the car that night with the air, the runs were pretty tight without any big variances even with me having adjusted launch, tire pressure and shocks mid way through.

Nice runs. Just curious why the first slip looks strange with how the text was printed out. I've never seen a slip like that at Milan before. The data itself is still consistent with the other slips but it looks weird.

They're pretty well known for the finicky timing system, they actually didnt have boards for most of last season due to the fact the new system couldn't communicate with the boards they were so old. While taking some pics of my car on the top end there was a guy running back and forth across the track messing with the system so im sure it had something to do with it.

Watched the videos. Looks like you beat the drivers of some pretty strong cars.
