Yes the shocks.
The car is still way too loose.
Just need more runs.
I will take it out a few more times this year for sure.
It was a lot of fun.

Hey Howie when you were doing your burnout is it just me or did the pass side wheel stop spinning while you were still doing burnout

It must be the way the video shows it. It does look like it at the burnout
but then you can see the RR doing ugly thing at the line.
From the first run last summer at the test to the full race this weekend
the car has pretty keeps getting faster as I learn how to work the car.
The fastest run was the last so there is lots of speed there just have sort
it out.

what do you do to run 12.30's , shift early  ?? .... what's it run flat out ??..... nice front tire air !!
Yes shift early and often. :P
Really I'm just going real slow and learning how to drive the thing.
I'm only letting the 428 spin to 6300 for now.
Someday I will put a big engine in it and then we will see what it can do. ;)
i dont know if i would run any more than 6500 rpms,it might be quicker shifting at 6000 than at 6500.i did a 7200 rpm burnout with my 428 and i bent 8 pushrods.i put a 6000 chip in,7200 was too much and i was running better at 6000-6500
