Love that car. I talked to you in the lanes and you guys were having a blast! It was nice to finally meet you. It was a good few days with a few good friends. Randy Johnson (Dartin) was extremely attentive to things needing done to put me at ease on Saturday and Jerry Tormala (GDemon) did the same on Friday. These were long days but, rewarding as I bought Jerry breakfast and then Randy BW3 dinner including an appetizer but no drinks. Randy offset his extra expenses by buying me about 6 waters and an ice cream.

Great job, sounds like an absolutely stellar weekend and it's awesome you couldn't be happier with how the car is performing. Will definitely make it out on August 3rd to cheer you on!!

Is that a 1.26-foot braking? In your video it looks like your bars never hit.  Correct, it was stumbling so bad it didn't hit the bars all weekend. Yes, footbrake That car should be low 20's-teens on the brake  Yes, I believe it will go high teens in 60ft once sorted-out which includes new tires and in good air. There is a list of things I will be doing that'll make it faster and IMO it'll go 8.3x at 2815# again in good air. Bigger carbs on Q16, a chin spoiler. better driving and shift replace the 90/140 Amsoil diif fluid with something thinner, increase spark timing and some carb tuning. maybe move the cam back a degree or 2. replace 50w oil with 30wt etc

I know you start hitting a wall as speed increases and the gains are less. But judging by the data I've seen and misc factors, I feel confident in what I said.
