Default First time at the track this year.

This is the best of 4 runs. It needs a lot tuning. But I was too tired to do too much.

1.59 60'
7.29 1/8th
94.11 mph

Thanks, I thought it was good for the first time on the setup. The tires had too much air. It was too dark to see the contact patch on the new tires till I got home. It is very rich at WOT.
I still have not reviewed the scans. It can wait till tomorrow.

Wayne,
I will be down. I know it sound like excuses, but it really needs a lot of tuning and I can't tune it on the street anymore because of lack of traction. ex. On my first try it hit the rev limiter. On my 2nd run it had 6* KR. It is running rich. 12.0. What happens, though, when you correct something it affects something else. I'm anxious to run the 1/4, but I think the 1/8 is a great way to tune. One month and I'll be in touch.
Joe
