had to post this in the mi. section :)

went to Norwalk on friday night, but silly things kept me from a 10 second slip, not to be distraught, Jim and Steve joined me to the jaunt to the track this morning! Thanks a bunch for the help guys!!!! you guys rocked, with their help i got the shocks dialed in alot better, after watching the video i see room for more improvement :) by the way Norwalk is now my Graceland!!! incredible track, prep and staff!!!!

well went to Toronto Motorsports park today, St.thomas had issues with their boards, so we drove the extra hour there.

first run let off sideways in second!!!

then the sun did it's job, because the track didn't! they prepped the start line pretty good but that was it, plus i gave the bmr stuff a good workout ! past the 60' mark it was crap plus the ricers didn't help out!

here we go..
1.60 60'
7.19 1/8th mile, 99.19 mph
11.17 @ 122.96

1.56 60'
7.20 1/8th, 98.57 mph
11.20 @ 123.70

1.57 60'
7.14 1/8th, 99.13 mph
11.1 @ 125.15

1.52 60'
7.10 1/8th. 98.61 mph
11.07 @ 123.79

here it is :)
1.44 60' :eek: spinning in second gear!!!!
6.96 1/8th, 99.63 mph
10.91 @ 125.30 mph!!!

1.56 60'
7.16 1/8th, 99.23 mph
11.11 @ 124.61

one more time for good measure...
1.53 60' again sakting in second
7.0 1/8th, 10.26 mph
10.97 @ 125.41 mph! sweet

second gear was a hoot all day long, spinning through it, doh! serious cross winds i had to steer away from either the center line or from the wall to the left of me!!! :eek:

i learned a bit more about the suspension, and also alot about how the motor likes to be spun up! next time out i will start with the 6900 pill and go up to 7200 max. through the day i upped the pills a few hundred rpm. i can't wait to go back to Norwalk on motor! 6200 rpm dumps!!! woo hooo :D
