Absolutely Great event. Its was unreal.
Great Pics as usual Tom.
Thanks everyone, I run a precision 4272r with a billet compressor wheel. It is a great unit.
As far as the second run goes, well, after going over all of my data and being really confused I think I know why the car went 9.1@171 or appeared to. When we put the car on the trailor I looked under to make sure the straps were tight and all and I saw a piece of painters tape and I said to one of my guys that if that was there it would have caused the issue with the lights I had on the starting line. Well I just got to see these pics for the first time and if you look at pic 1 and 9 you will see the painters tape I am talking about on the bottom of the bumper. Anyone who was there saw that I rolled up double bulbed and then backed out and then did the same thing but the top light was flickering and I just said **** it and let it ride. Well according to my data it was a .9x pass @169/170. It would deff explain my 1.8x 60ft on the timeslip, lol. So in the end the car didnt really go 171, just 170. In the end I am happy as the whole point of running was to gather some data on the turbo system and I can happily say I got all the data I was looking for.
Thanks everyone once again.
