Mo, I have wifi and can post results as I see them... looks like most of us are running a little behind here... shouldn't matter since we have 6-7 cars for 5 hours

I'll make a new tread once we start running.

LOL.... I couldn't help it

I've been on the phone LIVE with at least 4 guys from over there. As James stated, people seem to have been running a little late. Everybody is getting situated right now and they'll probably start running within the next 20 to 30 minutes.

Stay tuned....

Sometimes it sucks to have too much power.... and this seems like it is one of them. Jim's car keeps shredding belts

I think he's done for the day

But he'll be back soon.... we need to find a stronger belt.

Rick just ran an 11.5 though.....

It's part of R&D in the real world. Is it a 6 or 8 rib belt?

Guys, it was the stock idler pulley that broke, I broke a couple pre-blower, they are cheap plastic peices of crap. No clean passes, my first few were just to practice launch.
