Great day in the shop, John came over just before noon and was able to stay until 6:00 PM then Andy came over---we have the data logging system in and a "PLAN" for the new car and me, at the test and tune.
1st pass: a 150 easy run down the whole track and test the brakes at the 2. really check the car over
2nd pass a hard pass to the 1.25 to simulate El M and deploy both chutes and see how we could stop at El M ditto checking the car est. speed 225 mph
3rd pass all out pass to the 2.25 to compare to the old cars best 1/4 speed--- one chute out to compare to old chute out stopping est. speed 275 mph ditto car check
4th pass all out to the 3 exit and timing trap - est speed
to be seen---should give us a pretty good idea what to expect at SW
I am looking SO FORWARD to seeing all the new cars make their initial passes. I am fortunate to be shaking our new car down with several new liners that I expect to be "Freaky Fast" as JJ says
