After waking up and checking the DA at Milan on a chilly Michigan morning...-1320...I just had to get down there.
By the time I got to racing the DA had fell some, -800...wow I was excited to take advantage of these conditions.
With that great DA another issue arose, traction?
First time I've had the car spinning to the point you could feel it trying to correct itself, not really cutting out...more of a throwing power to different wheels maybe?
Weird thing is...I nailed my best 60's yet, but the extra spinning was getting an earlier than normal shift into 2nd...which also netted me the best mph I've seen by 2 full mph.
There was a direct on headwind of 10-15 mph today too.
Car 422...left to right in order of runs
So no new best yet...still a week left!
So us test & tuners lined up in the staging lanes for our presumed last run of the day...we were sandwiched by 4 other classes that were on last week of points race (pretty cool racing)....anywho. I'm lined up next to an older Camaro with DR'S and huge hood scoop and look to be taking a loss in the final run. This Mustang in front of me with a bunch of LS buddies from Ohio.
He's lined up next to this SS
As we get up to guy controlling the staging lanes the guy in the SS calls over the worker and points back at me...employee says, "you want to run the SHO"? Guy nods and the race is on!!!!
After struggling with traction all day I dropped the fronts to 22 psi and rears to 24 psi for this last attempt. We line up and he gets me off the tree, but I out 60' him real good. At the 1/8th I can see him barely creep up to the front doors and commenced on the verbal assault that somehow kept him at bay and walked away with a .02 victory!!!!
Fun way to end the day
Guy wouldn't even look my way at the air station...got beat by the Mustangs brother still, and a V6 family sedan to boot.
