Just continuous flow of cars down the track. Decided to make the best of it and try to get down on minimal track prep. Weather was good. The gear had been switched from a 4.30 to a 4.10. It had also been rejetted from 94 to 92. Tried a bunch of shock and tire psi settings. It never even tried to lift the front tires. The jury is still out whether the gear or jetting hurt it. If it did it wasn't more than .01-.02. The stripe rpm was down from 7300 to 7100. So it does slip the converter a touch more. Wasn't super consistent but it went down not to bad. Driver wasnt the greatest either. R/T and shift points weren't precise. been 7 months since I've been in the car. Nothing broke. Truck and trailer towed great. made the mistake of leaving the 16v charger at home. But the XS battery performed flawlessly without it. Here's the runs. Doug

I ran there last year. The track was great everytime out. Yesterday, along with the sketchy traction it felt like there was a pretty good bump somewhere around 800ft. I ran only the left lane. So is it only that lane? Don't know. Never felt it last year. I'm sure they'll have it ironed out by the heads-up event on 5/5. My best 60ft ever was here on my last visit in the fall. Doug
