"tons of fun" lol.... Yep!

Ran the car again last night and we got a 6.37 @ 108.9 and a 6.40 at 108.5. I think the car is in it's sweet spot now, so we're just gonna wash it and wait for Pinks all out next weekend.

Here's a couple of vids from last night, hope you guys like them!

Damn.... Nice runs. Are those slicks or drag radials?

Re: 6.42 and 6.54 passes on N2O
It seems the car is not launching high into the sky as it was before....

How did you fix that? A gear change? New traction adjustment? Wider tires?

Those passes are on M/T slicks.

The launch calmed down a LOT when I built a stiffer rear spring pack, and added a rear sway bar.

Also limited the front end travel a little and that seemed to help as well.
