Got 2.1 runs in with new setup

[71Dragtruck]

Well after a rainout and several hours of driving to two different tracks trying to find one without rain I got in 2.1 runs today.

First run was a test run on motor next to no burnout and short shifted just to see if it would go straight, went good, bit of a tweak one way on launch but discovered last week my back springs are NFG, ordered a new better set but didn't show up in time. Temp was very cool and humid AFR replay showed maybe a tad rich N/A, strange as it's usually on even warmer days.

Second run I decided to go a bottle pass as was not sure how many test and tune runs I'd get with a double points day making up for rained out previous day. Spun a very little bit and surged a tad on the big end AFR replay showed a bit lean on bottle with new tune I just put in. BUT ran my fastest ever 10.25 @ 128.73 and a 1.408 60' I was like WOW didn't even feel like that fast of a run.

Third run I fattened it up a bit, it launched REAL hard no spin, and snapped my transmission yoke clean off I'm sure with the cool temp and the way it bit it would have been in the 10.1XX's.

Now just hope I can get the parts in and installed by next weekend as points races at my regular track.


Another thanks to forum member Drag80 (can't remember his real name, want to say Jeff but I suck at remembering names, sorry Drag80), he got me a pull back to my trailer from his dad, who was being called to the staging lanes at the time, so a thanks to him also, plus they arranged for some muscle to get it pushed straight enough to winch it into my trailer.
