After a tough couple weeks, we loaded up Chad Henderson's radial car and headed to Indy Unleashed, to run EZ street. Track was horrible, but once we found what it needed to get going, we were #1 qualifier, low ET of every round, top speed and won the Wally. On even a decent track, the car will 60ft in the low 20s, but here, we had it backed off so much, the best 60ft was a 1.36 and that was in the final, after the sun went down. During the day, we could only go 1.40s, without blowing the radials off. In the final, it went 5.04 @ 149, with only a 1.36 short time. Good enough for the win though.

A win under those conditions is even sweeter.' Not just making the power but the additional triumph of conquering a bad track.

the worst part in D/R and being fasted on the board is...being last to run in the lane.. all the radial cars ahead of you take off all the good rubber.... CONGRATULATIONS.. did you end up slowly dailing it in/on sooner in the run.? .or waiting longer before turning it all in as the day went on? cheapst.
