Well . . . things never work out like we plan. Things were running behind . . we didn't get to add any boost (no pulleys around the shop) and we kinda gave it half a tune. Added some timing and the methanol worked great. But . . boost was badly needed.
So, I ended up getting the car outta shop about an hour before the track opened. Hauled home and picked up the wife and kids, drove an hour to the track, and the street class was being called as I pulled in. Got the wife and kids outta the car as quick as I could and hit the staging lanes for a disappointing run . . no cool down or prep time.
But, before I ran . . . the starter said they would be enforcing the 13.49 rule for roll bars in convertibles . . and my roll bar goes in next week. So, I spent the night trying not to do better than 13.5.
First round of eliminations, I ran a 13.455 @ 105.170 . . . . :handball:
That ended my night. But . . . it WAS kinda cool to get kicked off for being too fast of a vert . . . :winks I'll be back in a couple weeks with a new blower pulley, a full tune, and a 6 point bar . . . and I'll be in the 11s . . .
