Default Video from IFO- my 10.7 runs.

The first run on the vid is Danny (turbotyper) on a pretty good launch, he had a good 1/8 mile i believe until the car shut off. The last two are my runs.

Good job man, look to be pretty consistent. Why were the runs in the dark? I know there weren't a ton of cars in the class, was the event running way off schedule or something?

Nice runs.

But what the hell happened to the hatch(s)? Can't tell if it's the same hatch.

Its the same hatch, he had problems with the car just shutting down every run.

Tony- qualifying didnt start until 6pm, the race was over by 10pm. They actually had to rush us in eliminations cause it was so cold, the track dropped 30+degrees between 6 and 8 oclock, after our final round they shut all the racing down because of it.

That's crazy. A local track ran us during a slight rain one time. I can tell you... the slicks don't pull 1.8s in that. Haha. I think I had a 2.4 60'. I honestly couldn't believe they ran us in that.

congrats on the runs.nice video. i was fighting 3 problems all night.i really needed a day of practice,but made a last minute decision to come and got no practice runs.the first problem was the boost control wasn't working.i unplugged it to check power,and it started working(after three runs).must have been a loose connection.the second problem could have fixed the third.the datalog would not work.i spent to much time trying to fix that, keeping me from fixing the third problem-boost cut.this was the first time at the track with this boost control.also the first time i had hit boost cut.i thought it would react different.i had been having problems blowing out the spark,so that is what i thought it was.anyway,i used the boost control at the same setting on the dyno and it went to 32psi,boost cut was at 38psi.i figured it would be fine.i didn't think about it until the way home,but the tires were spinning very bad on the dyno, so it probably never hit full boost without the load. anyway,gonna go to the track this weekend to get it all sorted out.i was pretty happy with the 1/8 mile run.it cut off before the 1/8th and still went 6.9 @ 100.it usually goes about 115mph,so that could have been a pretty good one.anyway, see ya in shreveport! maybe i can race this time instead of chase problems
