    Took the hoopty out for the first time on new setup

    Got the car running last week, wanted to take it out this weekend to see what it could do.. I had passengers on every run but the 12.88 run, I had a couple of runs that I didn't get video of, but they were in the low 13's

    I was on 91 octane 11psi, it was spinning pretty badly because the track is a terrible track. I'll get it figured out for this friday and hopefully get some more runs down on a decent track and see if we can't get it dialed in. I want to beat the van's fastest time on 11 psi.

    Nice runs and for low boost too.
    Something Simon and I found is to let opponent stag 1st so you not at full stall for more then you have to saves the trans.

    You would have to race there to understand the way that damn staging light system works, it's so bad that sometimes your burnout smoke will stage for you lol

    just FYI there is a mopar club class this friday at the daytimes so there will be a big Mopar turnout. And what my brother and i are planning on doing is racing the daytimes then at 8:00 you walk out and get a number for midnights pay for it then just wait inside watching races or whatever and when they start rolling cars in grab the car to be first in line

    We like it cause it takes out the hours and hours of waiting in the parking lot.

    Anyways i am excited to see your car in person
