Test & Tune, Aug 1, 2009

We got there before the gates opened, 95* air temp, 135* track temp, 90% humidity, it was hot Unloaded and did our warm-up, there was a nasty crash in the first few pairs, delaying the start. They got it cleaned up, and we got to run, first pass: 5.85 @ 122.40 MPH, bogged off the line, kinda surged in high gear, got it back to the trailer, pulled the plugs, and called Ron Evans, made fuel system adjustment (richen main jet by .010) plugs back in, pulled back in line, 88* air temp, 109* track temp, 90% humidity. Second pass: 5.68 @ 123 MPH and picked up a tenth in the 60' plus got the front wheels up a bit on the launch, was #2 qualifier if we cared to run the bracket race, the dew had settled on the car (and soon the track) so we decided to pack it up, half hour later it rained, so that was a good call !! Here is the video, Thanks for reading/watching us, Mike
