Got two passes in today before the rain shut things down...

1st pass:

Reaction - .025
60 ft - 2.585

1/4 MPH - 98.29

Got lucky on my first launch. Just before the burnout box on my 2nd run a big wad of wires and duct tape fell down on my feet!!!
Needless to say my concentration was somewhat comprimised...

Racing resumes at 8:30 am Sunday.

*Edit* Posting from a freinds place. My internet has been down for 2 days :mad:

Both of your cars

Nice times. Are you going to crank up your boost once you get the new fuel pump in and whatnot?

Both of your cars

The plan is to keep my low boost setting at 9ish and double that for the high boost setting when the injectors and walbro go in. Still waiting on the shop to get the dyno up and running in the new location. There are some power issues that they have to get resolved. I can hardly wait!

And this is the car that beat me. A '63 (I think) Pontiac Canso. Not sure what he had under the hood but it ran mid 13's. Good color choice too!

And this is my 3rd (and fastest) run for the weekend...

Hey my Acura is a beast! Now the other one, Mr Mazda... I've threatened to burn that garage down a lot. A lot. (rant)

Your car sounds great, Mark. Looks pretty potent too.

hahaha yeah, been there. I haven't threatened to get rid of it, but I've considered it. Race cars need a lot of TLC. We tend to beat on them pretty good.

Thanks! Now to get it back into auto-x trim for the rest of the year...
