Took the car to the track last night to try to get it down the track for a full clean pass, unfortunately I left the laptop at home so I could not turn the power all the way up and the track was junk but did get closer to making a full pass.
First pass off the trailer got to aggressive with the launch spun hard, then when the car went into 4th and across the 1/8 mile car spun badly and went toward the wall so I lifted corrected and got back in it but it had fell so far out of boost it barely made it by the time I crossed the line.
1.7 60''
6.4@124.6 1/8 mile
10.0@144.1 1/4 mile
Had I just breathed and not lifted first pass off the trailer tonight would have been a solid 9. Best I can tell boost was in the mid 30s.
Unfortunately track was packed so I watched 70 or so street cars tear up the surface and put water all over the place before I could try again. Left with a little less boost but spun again, and then the show started. Car ran hard left and touched the center line, I lifted and shifted then it ran hard right, I lifted and shifted and it ran hard left again, once in 4th I was just sawing the steering wheel back and forth the rest of the run. Track guys wanted to tech the car because it was all over the place, after they did I decided it better to bring it home and change some things and wait for a better prepped track before I hurt myself the car or someone else. With all the lifting and crap car went...
1.61 60'
6.6@106.8 1/8 mile
10.1@148.3 1/4 mile
Gonna put in some active toe eliminators, replace a couple bushings that are not urethane in the rear and perhaps a new set of slicks and lower tire pressure. May try some Hoosiers for more contact patch as well.
Overall I am happy, car didn't break and I can try again with a few changes later and have a lot more boost to throw at it.
Hope to finish this thing up to make a race at Maxton before the ECTA moves and I have to drive across the country to race.
