Had a track rental this past Friday at Atco.
Well I have the good, the bad and the horrible. Lol.
The good is the car ran great. Took off like a rocket and was getting my tune and launch better as the day went by. Hard to tune with the heat. The MSD fuel pump voltage booster helped. Got a new PB.
The bad, even though I got a new PB of 11.06 it wasn't 10's. LOL. It was way too hot out. Never will I race at this temp. Plus I was power braking too much spinning off the line. I was shocking the slicks instead of loading them. Didn't get good 60'.
The horrible is after the 11.06 the next run, car took off great, then I lost all gears right after launch. That would have been the 10 sec run. Pissed about that. I thought it might have been a popped out axle, but I think its trans related. Might be TC. Been having issues with it for a while before the track rental. To top the night off, while backing out if enclosed trailer, my pass mirror got caught on the steel cable and ripped it off. I'm more pissed about that then everything else.
Best run of the day was 11.06 @ 124.16 MPH 1.73 60'
Here is a vid. With the cutout open the turbo screams so much louder.
