    No news is good news..

    Well went down to the track today with the guys. Got two runs in, in a matter of three hours. F'ING RIDICULOUS...

    first run I got a little over excited with the posi and stalled it too high and pulled out a 14.5

    about an hour or so later got my second and last run in..

    Not happy at all..
    2.17
    6.11
    1/8: 9.32
    1/8mph: 77.05
    1000ET: 12.02
    1/4ET: 14.47
    1/4mph: 93.93

    I ran the EXACT same time with out the posi, yet I improved my 60ft by two tenths, AND I was 2mph slower. I got a real good burnout in, and launched at a little over 1000. My buddy told me I spun right when I left. I dunno I still need to figure out how to launch i guess. Or get some slicks..

    funny story though: I was waiting in line and this guy in this slammed RC hemi was in line to race me, and I kept overhearing his buddies give him a hard time about how I was going to beat him real bad or some ****, so RIGHT when we were about to go up to the burnout box he motioned for this badass mustang to go in front of him. Stupid hemi pussed out. He then ran a 16 something. It was pretty hilarious

    Theres an 1/8 mile track I go to in Mississippi that if you get there early I might be the only one there. I loved it I would do run after run try different tire psi let it cool down whatever I wanted it was like I had my own track with a staff

    I wasnt nervous at all. It was just annoying that I could only run twice because I wanted to try new things but the line was to damn long.

    run about 10psi in the rear tires, it will hook better! I have very bad traction problems and this helps me at the track. I have to run as little air in the tires as possible or else i will just spin forever!

    I think my fuel pump was causing problems at the track as well as traction
