Sorry for the late updates the facebook app is so easy to use on my phone xD

The first pass I missed 2nd gear and then just quick shifted to a 11.5. The next pass I launch the car and it's all over the place. I let off and coast to the end. I check under the car to see the lower control arm bracket twisted and broke...... So I rush to fix it and get another one in and next pass exact same thing. At this point I'm fustrated since time trials end at 3pm. So I said screw it took them both of and pulled in the lanes for 1st round qualifying trying to focus on the shifting. Sure enough I row all the gears and I had a good feeling top end! Thanks for all the pic and updates you guys have been posting. I know I short shifted it a bunch but I'm happy I got one clean pass before they were done for the day.

Time for beers and bbq!

I’ve got a buddy down there (Paul of Pauls High Performance) with a NA Grabber Blue 2010 that should be going pretty good. I can’t get him on the phone. Anyone see it run? I would be surprised if it wasn’t in the 10’s.
