I am still grinning pretty bad. First pass pissed me off.7.48@95. I figured it was the elevation at this track. Didn't want to believe my gearing was wrong. Then Rich went and ran and he only dropped a little MPH. So I knew I had screwed up something. The elevation was 1600ft I think. It's kinda high. Still with no tach I just kept running. Each time shifting a little higher by ear each time. One time I bumped it off the limiter about 30ft from the finish in 2nd. It ended up running [email protected] with a 1.66 60ft. Left with 2psi, but only saw 7 total this time. Thought it was the air, but got to sea level, and still 7. Header leak I'm sure.

I bet the drive home was fun for you two lol. I can't wait until I get mine back on the track...damn winter! Will be changing 12sec67 to 11sec67. I wish I had found a 67+ before my 65 those meats on the back end of your 2 cars just looks wicked!
 
It's Barona drag stirp. It's up in the mountains, obviously.lol It's kinda close. About a 20 min drive.It's about the only place that wasn't developed out here. I'd get out a shovel and dig by hand if they'd make it a 1/4. That way I could change my damn name. 1/4 tracks are too far away.
