Are they rescheduling? Drag racing is so much fun.

Well, this is just once per year in my home town - in June. Try somewhere else as soon as possible . I just need bigger MAF installed and tuned to get more air. The stock one has been maxed out and needed to change back to too big upper pulley on Friday.

Best feeling was when an old gentleman knocked the window and when I opened it he said: " I just wanted to say that you have the most beautiful car here. "

I love it when the quieter jag smoothly trounces the noisy opponent!

Removing that 200lbs extra from the trunk and getting small tailwind the trap speed should be ~3mph more. Not bad with such a low pulley ratio, ie. boost. Change to 4th gear comes a bit bad time at ~107mph ( 255/50/16 tires ). Maybe I should try also with normal tires ( 255/35/18 ).
