Default Took some in car movies

and was surprised that it even worked. I could not see what the camera would take, since the view finder was jammed against the headrest.
I had 19" street tires on with 1/2 tank of gas, so this was more of a R/T and shift point exercise.
It also shows how fast the Transgo VB shifts.
This one I was running heads up against an 11 sec Comp Rod bracket racer.

I will also attach the time slips for David......lol

that was my first run, if I can use that as an excuse.
I was there to work on my R/T's and my shift points. There is a Summit ET points race the end of the month.

They are also going to have PINKS here at Infineon again and the day to register is this Friday 11/13. 12 second cars are at the cutoff, but they aren't going to be running any 12 second cars.

What's the difference in the car from your 12.7 run and your current 13.1-13.2 runs?

It was crowded.

The difference in time is because of all the retuning done to try to fix the tranny shifting problems. I turned that time with it taking forever to shift. I need my tune back and Rob will do it as soon as I get back down there. He said he will put it back on the dyno and retune it and with it shifting like it is, I should see something better than a 12.7 with street tires. With it the way it is now I start out 13.2-3 and it gets down to 13.00 pretty consistently as is. It will run 13.3 in "D" with the TC on time after time. Maybe I should have done that. lol
