Default Problem solved




I posted earlier in another thread I was having problems at the drag strip as soon as I would launch car it would fall on its face about 10 ft out. Gas gauge showed half a tank, well the gas gauge was off and the problem was fuel sloshing to the rear of the tank. Now with full tank having a pretty good Friday night

I like your plate, I am in Canada and wanted 1nastyC4. They said I couldn't have it because c4 is an explosive. You're very close to my setup and my best run was 12.2@115.

Glad the fix was cheap.

Atco as I understand it is a fast track and well prepped generally.... still salty that Etown is closed although an insider said it may come back. I doubt it.
