Overall I had a good first outing. Participated in a track rental from 9-1 and made 8 passes. First 2 were full passes and then I moved to getting my throttle stop dialed in. Then we had a bracket race that evening, time trials started at 6pm.

At the end of the day what I learned:
- My old 540" -1 headed motor made more power than I thought it did. (probably closer to 880 since this one made 866)
- I miss the snappiness and torque of alcohol. (much smaller wheelie)
- I miss the cooling properties of alcohol (I'm going to need to replace my radiator
- I'm happy with the motor and knew building it that I wasn't a max-effort build.

2nd pass -- 1.401 --- 3.946 --- 6.122 @112.35 --- 8.018 --- 9.634 @139.06 (83.1 degrees, 77% humidity, 29.16 barometer, 3387 altitude 10:30am)
Last pass - 1.376 --- 3.901 --- 6.04 @114.01 (75.6 degrees, 83% humidity, 29.17 barometer, 2729 altitude 10:45pm)

So I think i think that last pass would have been a 9.55 in the 1/4.

The best pass I made with the other motor was 9.29 but that was on alcohol and without the mufflers and exhaust and a buddy who weighs 50lbs less that I do and this motor probably weights 100lbs less, I believe those are worth 3-4 tenths
