Great Night pf racing. Even though it was a bit windy. Low car count all around. We had 17 cars in one class and 5 in the other. ADRA was saying they were down about 1/3 in each one of their class's. We had a few new cars as well that haven't run with us before. After a fun filled night. We walked in the door at home @ 6:30am Sunday. Needless to say no sleep except for a few minutes here and there through out the day sunday.
As for the Vega. We had him indexed at 9:10. Needles to say he was on it all night. So much so he won the deal. Below is a pic of one of his pass's in the right lane. All night clicking the 60ft lights with the rear wheels. Fronts would set down about the 70 to 80ft mark. Â First pass out of the box he had to peddle it to get it to come down. If it didn't have the bars on it, it would have been on the bumper for sure. He went back and made a couple adjustments to control the flight a bit. Â

Our racer with the blown Camero had a new car. Not blow as of yet but I have a feeling that may be in the future for the new car. She was running 8:80's.

WAY cool, Â Â Car looks good looks like he's got it dialed in, is he going to do anything to keep the nose down, or is it always been like that.

It's been known carry the fronts but not like it does now. The new HP and torgue is starting to scare NASA a bit.

Yeah, that is a tad high, nothing a little chassis tuning won't take care of though, he needs to get it down a bit though, while it's going up it ain't going forward.

Great night of racing. Little to hot to begin with. Once the sun went down it got better fairly quick. Had 14 cars in the Sport comp group (.5 pro light) and 5 in the Top Comp Group(.4 pro Light). Lot of close racing. The vega is set on kill!!! Â Set on a 8:90 index in the Top Comp group and took the trophy home again and is walking away in points. Tried a different converter and the nose stayed quite a bit closer to the ground. Last pass of the night he ran all out and ran 8.900 clipping the competition at the stripe that was set on a 10:70 index.

Sounds like it was a good night of racing, would've like to seen that.
