Checking out YouTube Videos, looks like it could be a little slick sometimes maybe,
or is it just some awesome fast 6.x second cars over power the track?
Does look like a nice facility with all different kinds of racing.
Do they allow bringing in your own coolers and barbecue grill and stuff?

Should be out again next Wednesday night, we have test and tune every Wednesday during the season, nothing much else unless you step up to open meets these days, Nostalgia Drags last Sunday is a once a year thing.

Better late than never, finally got off my butt and took the car to the track last night. I was keen to give it a run with the cold air induction under the more normal Wednesday night conditions so no changes from the previous outing. First run went down the toilet when it pushed through the line while stalling it up, next run 12.042 then this happened:


First run in the 11's, whoooo hooo, if only by 0.004 of second.

Backed it up with 12.011 and 12.002.

Decided to give it another couple of degrees of timing (37 deg total) and it reeled off it's best run of the night, best run ever and a little more convincing 11 second run:

Followed up with 11.993, 12.072 and 12.056, so I'm not totally convinced the additional timing made any difference.

No question, the cold air intake definitely seems to be doing something.

I have some no expense spared Summit Racing 3 way adjustable drag shocks to throw on the front next.

I've finally given up drinking for good...........now I only drink for evil.
