Its good to see those guys test well again, they have been off pase the last few races it seems. I am sure its because they are trying out new stuff to add consistency

7.80 @ 180 is VERY impressive for Gardella , before the end of the season he should be able to go a little quicker. I remember 2 years ago at the NHRA finals Nelson went 7.40 vs Lisa with more or less the same type of setup so with a little more work hopefully Gary can go quicker.

Keep up the good work Gary!

Tuesday night at ATCO, best hooking track conditions you will ever see/get anywhere!

Insider secret. A lot of the local drag rails are there for gamblers/grudge race and ATCO has some of the best track prep people in the business! I would make the 2 hour drive for tuesday nights quite often!

Cheaper to lease an 8.10 car than it is to build one from scratch!

I don't think it was anywhere close to free. How about race what is going to be kicking everyone else's *** or lose like the rest?

Likely taking track temp as well as tire temp, its not so much what’s optimal as keeping records, along with slick tire pressure, launch rpm, clutch set up ( I realize Gary has an auto just saying) etc etc. You want to have as much info as possible. And have a good working base of what worked at what track in what conditions. My notes for each run in my laptop are longer then some of my collage essays.
