Please excuse the long lead in. The track officials were holding us up. And yes, I like to do a sideways burn out.
All in all we had a great day! Made a few passes N/A with the nitrous ECU and still managed a 10.93 in +1500da.
This was our best run of the day. The 1-2 shift was early, the 2-3 was crisp, but the 3-4 was lazy. The tranny is the weak link and we all know that. Hopefully there will be a fix for that soon.
Thanks for the kudo's guys!!

Keith: Thanks for letting me Particapte In your event. You Guys are Genuine Good Guys. My Jaw dropped when the Numbers came up at the tower!!
I knew you had something going There. The front of the car stayed raised up through 3 gear . Then you had to deal with the 12-15 mph Cross winds, pushing on the left front of the car. All in All It was a Great Day

So close you can taste it! It may be next season but you will most certainly get there. Now we can get back to focusing on a different type of track.

My son leaves Sunday for eight months for the Army National Guard so we took the car to Orlando Spin World last night so he could run all he wants on motor. We had a great time and he even got a 10 second pass in manual. He's still learning and has only been behind the wheel at the track a few times.
On the last pass of the night we took the bottle back out and hooked her up. Still had a traction and tanny problem but she ran a 10.33 @ 139.29mph. We have the power, just need the hardware.
Here's the slip:
Another piece of trivia. Both Bradenton and Orlando calendars are a day ahead of the rest of us and neither reset for daylight savings time. FYI - I already made this pass at 9:29pm tonight.

It's time to put metal screws into the bead area of the rims to keep the tires from rotating on the rims.
It the tire spins and you lose air you'll have a hand-full on the top end at 139 mph.
Installing screws around both sides of your rims was a standard practice for low pressure slicks when we drag raced back in the 60's.
I really enjoy watching you guys pushing the envelope with your cars.

Hey guys - thanks for the reminder on the rims/screws. I've done that in the past for all my other drag cars but I wasn' sure this car would spin them.
We are getting the rims screwed in the next week or so. I just didn't do it up front because I was waiting to see if they were spinning or not. The rim manufacturer does it for me.
Just one more thing to do. LOL

Yes I am running different rear rotors and calipers so I can run 15" wheels with full slicks. They are MUCH lighter but due to the driveline and traction problems I'm not able to see much advantage yet. Once the driveline is beefed up and the wheels are screwed to the tires and we can get some traction I will really see the advantage. Until all these things are corrected the lighter wheels/tire combo won't really make that much difference.
