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 7.16@96.91 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.

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.
