Thread: Testing Complete

Tweet

The testing was completed on Saturday. Made three passes, figured out the few gremlins we had with the car. I have a few things to change, then it's off to the races this coming Saturday for more fun.

Here are some still pictures, followed by three video clips.

No time to watch the videos (at least not while I'm at a customers site), what was your reaction time, 60 foot times, speed and time for your run?

Car sure is running straight and smooth, power sounds great!!!! A bit more tweaking and it should be flying. 9.04 sure isn't bad for the third run on a fresh setup!!!!

Bill, seeing as how they were all test runs, the numbers were way off. Everything is so new I didn't know quite what to expect. The first nitrous pass, the first stage didn't come on, and on the last pass both stages came on, but shut off at just about the 1/8th mile mark. For the outcome I am very happy. Our next race is this coming Saturday night, things should turn out a little different.

Thanks Dave.

You're welcome Pro. How was the "seat of the pants" feel on the new engine's power? Oh, by the way!!!! The nitrous purge on the 3rd pass was nothing but first class!!!! Never have ran with the bottle, I'd probably use the first half of it just playing with the purge button!!!!!

It felt so good to be strapped in there, sitting in the 96 degree heat with a 5 layer suit on just sweating my butt off. I LOVE IT!!!

Rain in the forecast has cancelled our plans for this weekend at the track. Our next outing will have to be when we go to Eddyville, Iowa in July, unless we can sneak in a test and tune day somewhere.
