Default Video of personal best.

Had a 2 day race over the weekend at Sonoma Raceway. This was taken Sunday. DA on this run was 300'. Please ignore the light!

Oops, just double checked. This was not my personal best. Previously, I had a best of 10.208. Still a good video though!

Nicely done. I agree with C409 still more then worthy of a . Your car looks like it hooks good and gets it done without any drama. Nice setup.

Cool! Foot brake? Did you ever run it with a trans-brake?

Thanks all. It was a fun day. The traction was good so I tightened the front shocks. I could have lifted the front a lot higher, but vertical lift up front is wasted et if it is not needed to plant the rears. I don't run a transbrake, just footbrake. I went 3 rounds on Saturday. On Sunday, I won my first round with a .016 light and lost in the second with a .011 to my opponent"s .003. The margin of victory was .009 so there was pretty tight racing. I'll try to keep posting videos if I get them. Willie

That is some tight racing. Old CFI-EFI would be loving your run stats if he could read them!

I'm jealous of your 300' DA.

Nice job!

The fact that you are running your car while it is zero degrees at my house makes me wonder why I live here?

Thanks again guys! I appreciate the encouragement. It's one reason I keep trying to make my car faster. I've been running a Strange 12 bolt with 4.35 gears for the past 15 years.
