Feeling hungry huh? Why don't You drive up to Sac for Test n' Tunes on Saturday and then back down to Famoso for Sunday if You really need laps? Sac is better as a rule (better people ,.... just kidding ) in that You can use Sunday for all the other stuff You need to be doing. For You it would be driving south. Not picking on Ya, offering alternatives

That`s a long haul and I want to go back to the track where I got my best and compare weather conditions to better determine my gains OR losses. I don`t get to go laps unless of course Chassis man is there to help he out as he so kindly did last time........ I only have a bar and this is IT..........I`ll decide if I want to cage it or not plus there`s some $$$ to be made here lately doin the "late nite" stuff...................

Wish the weather was good here again. 40 and raining . Good luck. Mistakes I made.
#1 adjusted the wrong shock knob, compression instead of rebound.
#2 forgot the rev chip, When the sand came out of the rockers we saw 8500.
I say you'll go 9.50

I hear ya.......... I`m definately a "rookie" as far as racing is concerned and have made some embarrasing mistakes myself..........who hasn`t. Your car is amazing and it`s gonna fly and must say, it looked very soft on the leave so there`s more there. I would be totally cool w/a 9.59 @ 137 on my first and only pass then pound a few and set another goal but as we all know, it don`t always work that way..............peace!

At famoso first run was 10.07 @ 132
second run 10.03 same mph
third was 10.01
fourth run the fuel guage pegged and started to Bobble
and the water pump stopped and temp went to 240
still ran it and went 10.10 Best part was the 60 fott came back the 1.38 and 1.39
I know there is more but don't want the track guys in my face as do run pretty often there.

I know you can find me a couple tenths!
