Good luck Brian! Glad you'll have good weather!

so how did everyone do ?
T&T @ Cecil yesterday, great racing weather in the morning. Track prep was minimal, but the BSX cut a few decent 60's. Off the trailer, I left the same tuneup in it that I ran at SDAC. Had some wheelspin early in the run, got under control around 4-500 feet out. More big mph out the back
r/t - .144
60' - 1.553
330'- 4.293
1/8 - 6.370
mph- 120.95
1000'- 8.106
1/4 - 9.563
mph- 158.65
Second run, track was coming around a bit. I put another 3 psi in the boost controller.
r/t - .113
60' - 1.561
330'- 4.109
1/8 - 6.084
mph- 125.25
1000'- 7.779
1/4 - 9.215
mph- 160.59 - Best trap to date!
3rd run:
r/t - .041
330' - 4.114
1/8 - 6.097
mph- 124.81
1000'- 7.795
1/4 - 9.238
mph- 156.12
I was trying some different launch settings, tire pressures, etc. 60's didn't improve after the first run.
Best run of the day:
r/t - .222
60' - 1.593
330'- 4.087
1/8 - 6.049
mph- 125.93
1000'- 7.732
1/4 - 9.166
mph- 156.90
Car felt like it bogged on the holeshot, so I need to look at the data. I was told the car was hazing the tires, but I did not feel it nor did I see evidence of it.
I did make one more run after the quickest of the day. I launched it pretty hard, and the track would not hold what I was trying to put down. Car went- 9.454 @ 155.65. She was all over the track. I probably travelled 1500ft by the time I crossed the finish line, hehe. I will need to do a once over this week. After the last pass, the car was huffing a bit from the breather tank. initial comp. test showed 1 & 2 down a few %. I'll get a look and report. Thanks for reading!
