Default Mid Season testing went a little faster 9.20@168.86

Well the time has come to step up my game since I have had a 9.30-9.40 car for a while now. So I have been making small changes to the car during our mid season break from IFO. The plan is to come out faster for the second half of the season and I think we are headed in the right direction.

This pass was anything but straight as you can see in the video it spun a the hit of 3rd and the car moved to the left out of the groove. I had to fight it to keep it away from the wall. After looking at the video it looks as if I might have lifted off the throttle a bit early.

Then after running the 9.20 we decided to jump into a jackpot race with a 9.10 dial in... the track went south and I went 9.36.

I would like to thank a few people/sponsors for keeping my dream alive.

Thanks everyone! One of the main things I'm still fighting is the weight of the car. On this pass it weighed in at 2650

Yes its still an H PPG trans and 4th gear boost was 47psi down to 42psi through the traps.

This kind of stuff gives me so much insperation. How the hell do you get like no tire spin in 1st and 2nd? What ever I try, I still seem to just blow the tires off and have to ride out the limiter?
