Shifted

Planning on pulling an all nighter and see if we can get it fixed for tomorrow.

Let's just say the car weighs 4,000 pounds less that the truck...:woohoo:
 
Well glad it didn't let go all together. Nice 60' times and glad it launched straight.
 
very nice, wished i could have stayed and watched it run but i promised the boys a baseball game at the Crabs. Hope you get it all straightened out.

For whatever reason photobucket isn't cooperating with me, should work if you click on the link. Anyway, about four hours later and it's ready to roll again.

very nice, might have to run the truck too, been itching to see what to new setup runs. what time you guys heading out. hope the track is ready before noon.
 
Probably going to be there around 8. Hope the weather plays in our favor.
 
Day number two. Consistent 1.36, 1.34, 1.41 60' times. Not quite full throttle, and lifted at about half track and rolled to a 10.81 at 90 mph. Having some wobble issues with the steering, it's getting better.

Making some headway. Still fighting a bad wobble in the front end. Ran a 1.372 60' 6:541 660 @108 and 10.087 137 mph. Pulled the chute. All is well.
 
Good times Brad, wish I was there to see that thing run. Sounds like a blast. Has he had to change his undies yet?
