Historically, Feb/March are the best months for -DA air and slightly less probability of rain...(kind of). Most of the rentals I have done have been in Feb/March and all of my quickest/fastest passes on my bikes and cars have always been in those months..

Holiday months are sometimes hard for people to get away from family functions and sometimes hard for us shift workers to get off from work.. (Me, Ben, Jeff)..

Ill work around whatever you guys put together tho..

Maybe I could make it down there. Not much of a 1/4 driver. Done all I can do at the Mile. Time to look into something else. Hope to try the TI in the Fall.

I finally had a chance to edit the in-car video from the 9 second pass.

Very nice, going 145 you should be around 800rwhp. Surprised that a racetronix 255 with BAP can keep up.

Thanks, Rob. It dynoed 792 rwhp. The only reason the 255 and BAP are working is because of the copious amounts of methanol that is being injected. It's basically a dual fuel engine at this point.

I may give you a call later this summer. I've got a build that I think will require some 3 inch downpipes.

Hell no.. Not September... It's too freakin hot in sept... Hell its still hot in oct.. I wanted to do a rental in Feb or March.. If I'm gonna spend $500 to race (rental fees, race fuel, meth etc etc) I want some negative DA.. I don't race in 2000-3000' crap..

If I can't make the Oct rental with TSS, we'll get something setup for Feb/March. I really want to test my car before pennying up for the rental.

The one thing about signing up for an event with TSS, is that Amar and crew will have every little detail nailed down and there will not be "what if this..." You can't go wrong participating in their events.

October shouldn't be 2000-3000ft DA's, Alan.
