Well the rain stopped enough for the family and I to run down to Beaver Springs Dragway.  Well the reaction time you could time off a sun dial, they were bad, plus there were running a protree and I haven't done this in over 20 yrs so really rusty.  First runs were LMS Stage4 13.456@102.38,  13.459@102.38.  Load 4+ and wasn't sure what happened.  First one I forgot to turn off the Traction control ran 13.507@102.42,  then turned off Traction control and ran 13.529@103.15, so puzzled on this one.  The track operator Beaver Bob was impressed and when I went to get my time certified for the 100MPH club, he told me to stay and we talked about the car and other FORD cars.  Overall I'm pleased.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I've know Bob McCardle for a lot of years, Beaver Springs was where I first started drag racing.  You know Bob's family owned a Ford dealership around Lewistown for years.  Anyway, you'll find that Beaver is one of the slower tracks. If you run at Maple Grove, you will be a few tenths quicker.

Yeah,  I've heard they are couple tenths slow.  Just puzzled why S4 was faster than S4+.  I'll get that figured out.
