***New Times after 4.083 Gear install***

Well first would like to thank everyone for making the drag night a very nice event. Thanks Guys!!

I was able to improve my drag times tonight with the addition of the Gears. I do beleive there is alot left in the car. Going to try and head down to MIR before the season is over.

Everyone at the track was saying they were not doing aswell as they could. And i think they are right. Some people had a hard time just getting into the 13's. I was running consistant 13.3's all night and towards the end of the night was able to hit 13.1's with some coaching from Alberto.. Thanks Bud

My car pulls really fast through first and second gear. Very suprised with this.

Here are the two slips

Wow thats pretty awesome. Good job. That would be really cool if you could hit 12's with that setup. Its gonna be tough though. Doesnt seem like you have a whole lot to improve on.

He has trapped 106mph at that track. Last night it was humid and air wasnt good for racing, many of us were 2-3mph down over usual. He still bettered his time by .2. Todd-glad I could help man, you learn quick...

It looks like gears don't increase your trap speed, you just get to the end faster... amirite?

Good times, btw.

Good times, btw.

The conditions were not a nice as i wanted them to be. Everyone was running slower than what they have run before. I hope someone from the event post up some videos. Then you can see how hard i pulled away from everyone.

I am going to try and make it out a couple more times before the year is out.

Looking forward to your times VitViper
