Thanks guys. It has been a long time coming. My tires were rubbing my fenders so bad they were smoking the whole way down the track. The announcer thought I was breaking loose the whole way, lol.. I should have a video tomorrow.

Ernie.
Much improved 60ft/330ft from your past runs.
Now you need to get a little more power in from the 330 to the 660 and from there just give it all it can hold to the 1/4. Whatever you're doing on the launch I would stick with that for now.
Just figure out how to do what I said above and that ET is going to drop big time.
BTW. What was in the lane next to you?
Congrats again!
