Kind of annoying to flip back and forth inside the car and out... but nice runs anyway.

Awesome job, Drew. Great numbers for it being your first time out in the car!! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that your hands were shaking back in the pits.

Edit: Just watched the other video...time for a twin disk and possibly a different boost controller!

hahahaha...yea...i'll admit it...they were shakin...it's been a while...

thanks for all the support and helping with the turning of the wrenches...

holy limiter is right on the in car...it was the first pass and i forgot how to drive...i was thinking the tires were spinning so i just kept grabbing gears...then realized the clutch was slipping like crazy...once i lifted and then got back into the clutch caught up...the rest of the passes i remembered how to drive and peddled it down the track as much as i could...

it definitely was great to be out...and the car has a ton more in it with some more seat time...saving up for a twin disc...i'm gonna skip a couple races just to save the money and get the car ready for SFWD...

as for setup...here's a link to the graph...just a basic sleeved block...nothing special

Let's see how the twin disc and more boost can do

I think he's running 25x8.7-13 M&H's. What you're hearing is not tire spin, it's the clutch slipping.
