Default New best fighting the wind.

Knew it wasn't a good day for racing but had already paid my fee for the rental. So the best turned out

60ft 1.887(best for the day was a 1.724)
330ft 5.120
1/8th 7.830@91.18
1000ft (slip is blank)
1/4 12.090@117.52

Still have to get the rear suspension set right. Car was hooking hard wrinkling up the QTP's well and pulling the LF tire real nice then the rear would rebound and pop up and it would spin the tires then take off. Felt great to get back to the track again.

Awesome!

Have you ever tried bagging the right rear?

Thought about it but I have adjustable QA1's on the rear now. No one else was getting traction and my first pass spun bad with the settings turned up. We decided to turn the shocks down a little so it can squat and help traction some. It helped but then we believe the rebound from the shocks is what was causing the rear to pop and unload the rear causing it to break traction again. Probably should have dropped shock settings some more.
