It was good to see some people out making some runs down the track. Got Kevins hatch running high 11's:

Matts Probe made some progress, running a 10.35 and then having some traction issues later in the day.

I'll get a couple less-straight running passes posted up later.

I'm running a 4 link in it, so I got the pinion angle set to -1 or 2 degrees down.

The 10.35 pass was fine...spun a little.

That one run looks scary as hell.

what were his 60ft times? reason for asking, it still dont look like he is leaving to hard??
seems that with the way it was running that day, he couldve pulled 2-3 tenths out of it.

Trust me, he's leaving hard. Launching at 7000 rpm's have a tendency to make traction an issue. Even on the quickest pass, (the first one Dave posted) Matt was spinning through the 60ft. mark. Watch the video again and you can hear it plain as day. I don't remember what the exact times were. Dave or Matt will have to chime in on that one.

[DaveH]

The best 60' was a 1.55 I believe. Now that it's making some power, we need to figure out how to get the power to the ground.... then we turn up the boost. :icon_rabbit:

[camzaro28]

yeah, it just didnt look like he was spinnin. makes sense now. get fugger to hook and you'll be golden.
keep up the good work

Kevin, congrats on having the fastest D series (by far) around here.

Chuck, damn man, so close to 12s. I know you'll git 'er done next time out:icon_thumleft: .

Matt, your car is simply amazing and definately makes it worth sitting under the scorching sun for hours and hours just to see that car run once.
