Last Saturday I drove the car to my local track (US 131 Motorsports park) and went bracket racing. I hadn't run brackets for a couple years and wasn't very confident. Had to back the launch RPM down so I could concentrate on the lights rather then the brake pedal. Ended up losing in the quarter finals with a .0004 red light! The class had 50 cars in it, and I made it to the last 6 with the only car in the class that was driven to and from the track. Had a couple good races, and a couple easy ones, but I sure did have fun. Had traction issues on the boost hit.. with the launch RPM at 2700 it would only make 8 psi on the limiter, roll out about 15 ft. and spike to 40+. The boost came on so hard I had to drive the car a couple times. After the fact, my buddy said he didn't think I was in the grove, and I hadn't even thought about that the whole night, so I'm sure that had something to do with the inconsistent 60ft times. I'm thinking over the next couple weeks I'll go through my drive shaft and buy Magnus's billet T-case cover so I can do a little burn out. Hoping with a burn out to clean/heat the tires a bit the 60ft times will be much more consistent. Anyway I thought I'd let you guys know what I've been doing with the car. Also my aluminum rod (11.5:1) short block is about ready to go together, might toss that in soon and make another crack at the record. 60 ft time were from 1.54 to 1.61. ET was 10.67-10.73 depending on the 60 ft. MPH was 127.1 to 127.6.. BTW the car gets around 11 MPG
