the trailer plug was the pivotal link to assure the car would run a number. Thanks for your assistance yesterday getting the car transported to the track.

Big thanks to Mark Jacobsen for helping get the car sorted for the meet next week.

still cant change gears and still ran 9.6 at a shitty 127 MPH. the car in the other lane ran 9.6 @ 148...a good run will see a low 9 from those stats...im pissing off the c's short shitfter and putting a stocker in it as they apparantly are no good in dogboxes.

ran a new 60' PB of 1.371

see what happens tomm. eh

I watched a vid of the earlier 9.7 run and it torched the tyres hard (1.6 60'). The tyres were green as they were brand newies swapped from the front but now they have been scrubbed up the 1.3's are back.

did you see the 9.6? some of the guys saw sparks flying out from under the car in the deep end as i was battling the box.

Yeah I saw the run but I couldnt see what was doin in the deep. I was camo'd against the wall of the corporate box and you cant see over the hump from there. Good luck today bud.

Fixed the shifting problem...dogboxes do not like c's short shifters. Thanks to Paul Ruzic for tracking me down a stock shifter at 9.30 last night and Rajon for opening his shop at 7.30 this morning so i could pick it up...top stuff guys.

Ran a new PB of 9.45 @ 142.7 with also a new 60' PB of 1.36

in the afternoon with more boost on board ran 9.7 @ 144 but turned the tyres right through 1st gear hurting the ET.

Congrats to Mark Jacobsen on winning the class and running a new PB of 7.7 in the semi final.

Big thanks to the Godzilla team for their help with the car.

congrats looks lik i mite have to change to a stock shifter also...

the difference is incredible...gone from a notchy box that wont shift at high rpm to something that is so smooth that you can shift with confidence. Now ive got to learn to stop using the clutch to pick up a few 10ths to get it running 9 flat.
