Memorial weekend races
Well, nothing impressive to report, yet. New mods since I ran a 10.73 @ 128 last year are a cat delete, throttle body gasket upgrade, and killer chiller. Best pass today was a 10.87@127. But,it was really hot (for Alaska) and the DA was pretty high for our track, and the first few passes I was spinning like crazy. The track started to hook late today, so hoping it will be good Sunday & Monday. Was hoping to run faster than ever, but it didn't happen, yet.
However, the intercooler's had frost on them in the staging lanes, and I outran a Hellcat. It was stock, other than drag radials, but hey I have a vid of a race with one finally and I put a bus length or two on it. I had fans ask for my autograph for the first time ever, and a great friend racing his 2015 mustang for the first time took second place in King Of The Street only loosing by breaking out in the final round. Not a bad day at all.

At the beginning of a run, after a burnout, my IAT's are in the 70's -low 80's. Even after a 20 minute wait in the staging lanes. I am still putting fans on the car between rounds, and keep the hood open if I'm going to be in the lanes for more than a couple minutes. There is condensation on the intercooler's, once even frost. I'll try to get a pic today. The IAT's are staying low through the run, I keep forgetting to look as I cross the line, but I believe they are below 100.
As for tire pressure, I was spinning bad at first. Kept dropping the pressure and the car started to hook most of the passes after I was down to 20#'s. Best 60' of 1.58! Not sure if I need to update the tune for the cat delete or what. All of the mods I did, killer chiller, TB gasket, & cat delete, should improve power. Going to give it another try today. Last night I was talking with another racer who runs a low 9 second 71 Mach 1. He said everyone was running .3 slower than normal due to t he air.
