Default SOOO Close to 9s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWvHNcicv9Y

This was the run that the slicks had a 2.25" difference in roll out. Watch as the car darts to the left at the end right before they go up to film the time.

9s soon

Thanks guys. That should have been a 9 second pass, but the car just got TOO squirrley and I had to let out about mid way through 4th. I watched the finish line go by as I'm just coasting then almost smacking the wall again was fun.

Mike, I hope you hit 10s, it's REALLY quite an accomplishment. I still remember it to this day when I did it.

Anywho, went to noble, OK for the race and ran 9.97, 9.95 then 9.85 @ 155

So I DID IT!!!! WHOO HOOOO!!!!!
I'll try to get video up.

Yep, the car tracked PERFECTLY down the track after getting rid of the bad slick.

We just need more time to play with the car. Setting up the boost controller and get her cranked over the 3X pound boost range.

Timeslip:
60 1.69 (got worse throughout the day)
330 4.494
1.8 6.623
mph 116.61
1000 8.394
1/4 9.851
mph 155.54



There's a 9.97 and a 9.95 also. I was just happy we went faster each pass without changing anything. I was feeling kinda out of it due to the 1 hour of sleep before leaving at 3 am to drive out there, so I just briefly checked the logs to make sure everything was fine and went on about my way.

The people in Noble, OK are really nice to deal with
