I can't drive worth a crap, obviously....... I had no time to learn to drive the car since everyone kept breaking down.

Here is how the night went.

1. 14.810 @ 62.16
2. 14.767 @ 68.15
3. 12.190 @ 88.13
4. 11.467 @ 100.50
5. 11.057 @ 131.97
6. 10.363 @ 136.02

I was never able to make a full pass without getting in and out of the gas. I just wasn't used to it but was getting better and better as the night went on.

I did trap 113 mph in the 1/8th on the 12.90 pass but of course, I hit the brakes.

It has alot more left in it, I just need to learn the car.

Damn don't be too hard on yourself. You're still learning the car.

And while that picture was taken, everyone here thought your car had burned to the ground on it's first pass. I still can't believe we were fooled. If it were April Fools Day or some ****, I could understand. But not tonight. HAHA. Man Eric, that dark pic makes that paint jump out at me. Your ******* car kicks ***.

Congrats!! It's harder than it looks. I need practice as well.

Were you running full boost? With your car weight/horsepower, I was expecting 145+'s for the mph.

Yes, I was running full boost......... I would have had 145 + mph if I had a clean pass where I didn't let out or screw something up.

I started out with 16 psi in the tires, everytime I would punch it in 3rd, the tires would blow away and the car would kick sideways. That happened on two runs. I finally dropped the pressure down to 12 psi and it fixed that problem.

Yes, I reclaimed the title. The announcer was going nuts again. You'll have to hear him in the video

Gary was there helping me.

That is the same VW that beat me. Man I can't wait until this May when I get back. My dad and I will be putting in my 8.8" Rear end. Eric, you better still have your car then so we can pretty much go 1-2 every tuesday. That would be cool.
