    New Best today

    Few months early since I seem to only do this in October. Decided to run my off road H. I was thinking with the cams and may need to breath more. Cats worked great with stock cams. Going into 6 season of racing this motor is long overdue to be redone.

    Pass 1 - Was my quickest ET for atleast 50 minutes.
    60' - 1.68 (spun as had no heat in tires and probably still wet)
    330' - 5.12
    1/8 - 7.97
    MPH - 87.72
    1000' - 10.40
    1/4 - 12.45
    MPH - 110.38

    Tried doing my burnout twice and both times car jumped out of water box. I pretty much gave up on the burnout and staged. Hit line lock and noticed I was drifting forward. Back in pits fond the fuse had blown and line lock wasn't working.

    Pass 2 - Line lock working now
    60' - 1.63 (Balaska told me I spun bad)
    330' - 5.02
    1/8 - 7.85
    MPH - 87.80
    1000' - 10.29
    1/4 - 12.34
    MPH - 110.21

    Pass 3 - 1st rnd Elims
    60' - 1.66 (this pass I felt it spin bad atleast a good 6')
    330' - 5.09
    1/8 - 7.96
    MPH - 85.93
    1000' - 10.40
    1/4 - 12.47 lifting and lost. Should have stayed in it as I would have gotten around other car who also lifted.
    MPH - 104.90

    I think I need a taller tire maybe a 27 or 28" slick. Car also seems to have more noticable smoke going down track and apparently bad at 1000' on from what I was told. With cats its not as noticable.

    Wow, pretty rare we get that good of air. Sucked Saturday for sure. Oh well, I knew this year was a throw away for me with the new combo. Getting slicks so I could TnT on them Wed, then be ready for next weekend was more important right now. Wish I could have been there to see you guys all get new bests though
