Finally made it to the track...

[00 GTP Rebadged]

I decided to hit the track. It was about 50, but there was a pretty strong breeze. I haven't had time to tune the car, so I was expecting much. My first run, I pulled a 2.4 60 foot on slicks. It was really hard to launch the car. My times were all over the place. I did manage a 12.46 @ 114.3 with a 2.062 60 foot, toward the end. After my last run, my alternator took a crap. I was there with David Moore (DMoore). We ran over and grabbed a new one, and charged the battery. Still woldn't start. The track was about to close, so I had my wife run over and grap a uhaul trailer to get the car home. The track guys had us lock the gates when we left. It really sucked, but I did get the car home.

I think with a 1.7 60 foot, I probably could have hit an 11 today... Oh well, there is always next time.

way to go on the times!!!!!!!! have you figured out why the car wouldnt start?

[00 GTP Rebadged]

I run the qtp slicks... But there was virtually no VHT at all, so it was like being on ice. Even the big rear wheel drive cars where spinning bad.

I haven't had time to mess with the car. I am doing a recondition on the battery, and will probably spend some time on it later in the week. Right before we tried to charge it, it almost started. So I am pretty sure the battery is toast. I have to check the warranty on it, it is a red top.

Man, 114 traps must be nice, so congrats on that, at least.

Hope you get all your bugs figured out quickly.

Man everyone's coming over here it seems! Here's a pic of him about to do his burnout, and then the vid of his 114 mph pass.
