Todays racing!

Had planned a few weeks ago to race today since I seem to have kids hockey trips every weekend. Spent 2 hours messing with suspension and changing tires, plugs. Drove to local track and it was closed due to cold temps... was 57 at the gate! Seemed nice to me... So we went home loaded it on the trailer and headed to the 1/4 track 1.5hour drive.

only had a couple hours before they closed.

First run.. 1.41 sixty, 4.13 @ the 330 mark, make the 3rd gear shift and boom, tranny broke...

So I think it lasted me almost 2 years or so. Was making a little noise so wasnt real suprised.

Just a peach of a day...





Be back next year........

Will call Paul at liberty in the morning to discuss. Have some ideas.

Comparing this to my last 6.36 @111mph 1/8 th mile pass I was a tad quicker at the 330 mark and was 2mph quicker. Today was great weather andthe track was hooking to make a personal best run. I turned the boost down 10% but was still running 30+psi. Knock was fine so I would have turned it up next run.

Oh well, that's racing...
