This day (saturday) promised good wheather and it realy was, sunny and not to hot, good air and a realy prepped track, tracktion was more than good, as to the first 2 hours was filled with som minor oilspill due to cracked rearends and som SAAB transmission the delay in runtime is frustrating..
Time for first run we (as proven on the street test´s) was afraid to break loos the tires so we did go conservative on launch boost 8 psi, Sy hooks to good (in reality no power) and feels and seems lame out of the hole then the map sensor fuked up and boost was gone?? we managed a 9,2@ 155 Mph.
What the F/&#"%(/%CK happened?? short of "fixi´n time" we had to line up again almost direktly, never found the bug, just got on to next round and not werry much time to reset launchboost but we opted for some more psi 9
Run 2 was as the first lame in the "hole" picked up some time but someting did´nt feel rigt so Robert hesitated some, and right he was, the left front drive axle had jumped out of place ruined the seal.
Still a new 9,2@155Mph
Whell this time we was prepared som up on jackstands and under he went and we managed (Robert then) to change the seal and axle and on the line again, this time with some "luck" (Track timer broke down due elektikal powerline trouble so we could only run one lane) this gave us time to do some more fiddling on the boost settings
Third run better out of hole (still only 1,58 at 60 foot) and the Sy seemd a lithle powerless out on track, but a 9,0@156Mph something starts to cooking yeahh
This was the last run for the day so we started to get ready to go home, when track officials told us everyboddy would get one more lap NOW, before the NOIS PERMISSION runs out (about 30 minutes left of tracktime) so out on line again with no proper time to adjust annything AGAIN..
4 run of the day and we did some more "desperat" launch boost fiddling and NOW it did wake up this was what we wanted to see on friday that rained away..
This run was more that we aimed for with a 1,48 60 foot a 5,8@126Mph 1/8 but a lithle powerless 9.0@156Mph again, end of story..
The day was a succes despite no record time,
A Danish EVO was here to "run down" Robert a 2000LBS 1000Hp real race car with carbon fiber on every inc on the body that was possible, Realy nice and friendly chapp BUT was out for Roberts "hair", Robert left im in a pile of dust, a 9,4 was his best..
And Robert won his class AGAIN..
We have learned alot about some parts (one is dont go cheap on MAP, U get what u pay for) and the wing IS ON FOR EVER truck is sooo stable and runs straight as an arrow, and behaves realy good
We´ve also learned to stop tuning at the street because, when the output on power is TOOOO much for the streets... its a lame horse on a good track
Robert is cutting up a video to "hit" the forum soon.
And sad as it is we might have only one more chance to run this season, its almost over here now
