Haha well I didn't have a great night. We seem to have a problem with the car dumping boost. She won't leave under a load with the slicks.

I have done better on street tires. Richard thought I wasn't giving it enough gas, so we got Antone to try it.....he didn't do any better.

The best pass made was a 11.53 at 126 but we were spraying out of the whole. It's like she's a nitrous only car until top of 2nd and then the blower comes in.

Richard doesn't think it's a huge problem, he'll get it fixed this coming week, now that we know what the issue is.

Got the boost problem solved. Simple vacuum problem with the blower, Guess it's a mechanical safety device that is designed to protect the engine under load. Anyways we got it solved.

It's kind of complicated, but the gist of it is her and I can't see each other anymore right now. Too many complications with the divorce she's going through and stuff. It remains to be seen if we will get together once all is said and done.

Well things have a way of working out. Give it a little time!

She seemed like a nice girl.
