Best outing in years
« on: May 03, 2008, 02:05:42 AM »

Went to Heartland Park Topeka. Zero track prep 40mph side wind. I decided to only run 1/8 mile.
First run was just a easy drive to make sure it shifted an drove straight.

Second pass becouse the wind was so strong ran the right lane. At around 600ft I crossed over into the left lane oops.

Third run I lined up a little to the right of the groove to make up for the wind.

Had shift light set at 6500. The light never went out. It spun the entire 1/8th. There are a will be black strips on the lane forever!

Based on the last runs from last year compared to tonight.

60' 1.38 fall 07 1.45

330' 3.86 4.04

660' 5.98 6.19

mph 115 113

It shook so hard the dash panel fell out, an pitched the alternator an vaccume pump belts.
