1/8 mile track today. Embarrassed myself.

I ran at 23psi at the track, and 'bout broke my entire front end. The wheel hop was bad enough to break the bolt that fails all the time in these cars, the mount by the transmission.

It did it a few weeks later!

Maybe it wasn't related, but I dunno. Wheel hop like that feels so bad that you just want to get of out the car and walk away...and hope it was a dream. Yet, you still have to make it down the track, all careful and hunting for gears that don't seem to be easy to find again.

That's why I won't drag this car again.
 
dang now that I know it's possible to be that low, I won't be happy until I am down there with you guys.
 
Had I not missed 3rd I probably would've broke 14 stock. I eventually got it in there but I'm sure it took at least 3/10th from my time
