Knocked out First Round

 

We elected not to race and turned up Saturday morning bright, fresh and ready to go.

An electrical gremlin saw us running with an intermittent stage light and no shift light for all but our first pass. This saw the motor bounce of the rev limiter and lead to the very untidy 8pm pass. Our first pass was a 6.203 so we were pretty hopeful for a good meeting. Our philosophy or consistency will lead to better ET's seems to be paying off with a nice .969 second sixty foot time on our 8 o'clock pass and a fast 223mph top end on our first pass. Now we just need to string all the parts together and get the electrics sorted.

Special thanks to Cindy for assisting with backing the car up on the start line and Victor Bray for loaning Doug a suit when his had a zip failure.
