Default Bracket Racing in Bradenton

Trying it again today. I haven't been able to get to a T&T to figure out my issues with changing 60' (+- .03) since last time out. What the heck nothing to lose today. Tomorrow is a Runday Sunday at Immokalee so that will be where I will be able to change some things and see if I can get my 60' consistant. It would of been nice to test before racing but sometimes you have to go with the flow.

Good luck at Bradenton. Should be a tail wind in addition to cool air. I'm heading to IRR as its less than 50 miles from my house. Bradenton is a little over 100 miles.

I made 12 runs. I declined on purchasing a picture. He does take nice pictures.

1. Got the 60's a lot better .....driver issues.

2. This beast can scrub .2 using the brakes and that's 1/8 mile racing. Each brake tap takes off .04. I have to learn to gently drag the brake peddle.

3. The Launch Control (factory 2-step and trans brake) is a POS. Sometimes engages sometimes not. Its like putting the gas to the floor and forgetting to push the button.

4. I can't cut a light in the car off the 3rd bulb. Guess this is a shallow 2nd amber car.

5. Beast can be hot lapped without impacting the ET. I race the car with all temps around 200. Thats water, engine oil, and transmission.
