    About the run

    It felt good coming out , but if you notice it came down a little harder than I'd like , that's because I didn't pull second quick enough and hit the rev-limiter [ 9200 ] at the top of 1st gear when wheels were still in the air :slap:

    It was my first pass in the car this year and was'nt quite sure with the new suspension how it was going to react , so I was a little slow reacting when the shift light came on at 8800

    Normaly we set the rev-limiter to 9400 but I had forgot to turn it back up after the dyno session , Opps

    There was a really bad cross wind so I lifted at about the 1000'

    Although they put new 300' of concrete this year , the rest of the track is pretty old , narrow , short , and bumpy , so we didn't want push our luck and called it a day

    We will submit some suspension pics of the some what " Homemade " set up tomorrow

    Overall , I was pleased with the way it worked , but may have adjust the front shocks and stiffen the extension rate to controll the wheel stand

    None the less , It was a fun ride


    Thanks for the kind comments(y)
