9.44 with spinning/logging/temp sensor problems

We had the car at the local import race on Friday night. Other than the track being like glass, the computer's serial port being touchy, and the coolant temp sensor reading -40* and causing the car to load up on fuel like crazy in 3rd and 4th, it went alright. The first pass the car went 9.44 at 143. I powered through the fuel dumping problems in 3rd gear, but in 4th I had to let out of it completely and jump back in it, hence the ridiculous mph. I liked where the 1/8th mile E.T.'s were headed with more reasonable 60ft's. Ran a best of 6.03, but it just happened to be on a pass where I had to let completely out of the car in 4th and let it coast through the traps at 140mph. The runs were at least consistent, even though they were much slower than they could have been. The car went 9.44, 9.52, 9.69, 9.58, and 9.50. We won the even with flying colors.

Can I trade you guys I just finished running 10.6's a@ 141Mph on Friday with 7.055 1/8ths and 1.850 60Ft's. I just can't seem to get these dam 18's to put down the power. Some great numbers with all the issues your having keep up the good work.

Man it’s the dsm blues. I go 9.3 on a shit 1/8 but then let out the next pass cause of safety equipment and go 5.7 127mph in the 1/8. Well guys nice numbers and good luck making a clean pass. I am back to the track soon to try and make one myself.
