Not much to add.. Just another night at an unorganized racetrack.... Crying or Very sad
We took out some timing to see if we could at least get down track.. Thinking if we could get down this place, we could go down any track..

First pass...shook off the line..pedaled..out of groove, eased on thru..
Second pass... same setup.. was thinking there would be more rubber down.
Felt like it left ok...maybe some spin..got down track and when ALL the timing came in..welll you can hear me pedal it..
Pass felt real good.. and Doug is right, This thing will be bad azz fast... get sort of excited to see time slip.
Only to get... the picture above... Crying or Very sad Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Next week..GOD willing , off to a good track for more testing and maybe some racing..

Thanks for the vids Douglas..

It's the way the track is run that makes it crappy, but it's close and gives us the time to find out what's working and what's not working mechanically on a car. Like two weeks ago when the collectors came off. If that had happened on a good fast track, it could have been a disaster.

Mr Bluto....

All of the things Doug said ... and.............

Not all of us are fortunate enough to have a good track close by..
Next closest track is 3.5 hours and was closed this weekend..
As for getting hurt because of track prep.. If you have watched our vids, you would know Deanna and I are smart enough to know.."when to say when".

Now the next question..If everybody quits going because the way things go there, how are they going to get better ?
As in... then the track closes because no one goes... Then what ??

650mph Suspect You must be working on your hustle posting that number up. Did you hit the brakes to get that number down that low? Laughing

650 MPH ---- that's almost as amazing as their 0.00 60 foot! (LOL) That track really sucks!
