Will do! Hope to be there by the middle of Feb.

you never have to worry about the boot at atco on t/t night they catch you just before the turn at end of bleachers and read you the riot act and tell what you need to run a 9 sec pass. and the next words from the techie were your done put it on the trailer but how would i know they usually have good prep so its all they're fault i wernt to fast.

But that was a few years ago...more recently we didn't even make it that far as the girl in the time slip booth had us opening our doors as she handed us our slip in search of the roll bar & harness LOL.

It's best not to overdo it at any track as they may request that you do not return.

Went a bit quicker tonight with a way better 60'. Unfortunately, my nitrous fill was clearly not done properly (first pass on new bottle), so I was down 5 mph. Oh well, always next time.

Went out again on Saturday for a test and tune. Trapped 130-131 first 3 passes and then got my best 60 foot (1.533) which netted my best ET (10.617) but bottle was dying and only trapped 125. This is the second time in a row that I had my best 60 foot on a pass where the bottle was acting up (see post #29).

Oh well, 10.50s are just around the corner. Though weather was pleasant out, DA was still around +1300 per dragtimes.

9s by 2013 on stock bottom end is the goal! :drive:

Thanks again to CBRTRX for a great tune and solid working nitrous system (wasn't system's fault but bottle) and Andrew and the guys at Lutz Performance for other work on the car.
