I'll be there hopefully AJ will come also. I might run, but on street tires. I hate Capitol because it's always crowded. Do you want to try and install the BO switch there? LMK through PM.

Shouldn't be a problem. If you could have your dash apart (glovebox side) so we can easily get to the ECU shouldn't be an issue.

Antonio and I will be there early with a BBQ and cooler...so come by even if you're not running. We usually get like 10 runs in between 5 and 6:30 before it's too crowded.

12.8 / 1.9 60ft / 112mph on the 1st run on spring pressure 8 psi. Didn't get the tires hot enough staging in 1st gear and bogged/spun the launch. Broke the pressure plate during staging on the 2nd run... Clutch pedal feels normal but doesn't do anything and it's always engaged basically. Awaiting further diagnosis this week, but we are pretty sure the pressure plate broke. Thankful it isn't engine trouble, but would have preferred an axle had gone instead.

Comp. stage4 sprung 6-puck + 13lb flywheel. Cheap cheap cheap but supposedly should have handled the power. I'm guessing random failure since it happened during staging not even on a launch or shift.

No doubt, I'm prepared for whatever comes each time...should be back on the road in a few weeks and at the track once the new clutch breaks in shooting for high 11's with enough seat time.
