went to the track last night

It sucked. Made pass on the nitto's. 12.8@121.x mph with a 2.1 60'. Didn't hook until 3rd AT ALL. I picked up 30mph between the 1/8 and the 1/4. Other Nitto pasas was aborted due the blower inlet tube came loose and vacuumed itself to the hood.

Best pass on the hoosiers was 12.4@115. Don't know what was going on here. Had a 1.9 60 (my best of the night). Car felt good but just wasn't pulling on the top end of the track.

Gonna check some things out today and see what was going on.


Sucks to have a 500hp car that only runs mid 12's

It did better than it did with the Nitto's

Its weird, I spun more leaving at idle at FFW (on the hoosiers) and ran 11.8's. (which was still slow for the power the car is putting out but I was granny shifting then too)

Gotta check the plugs today.

Re: went to the track last night
