E-town bound, Loaded up with 3500HP!
Quick Update on our Drag Car,
When we were going through tech it was brought to our attention that our cage was out of date on its certification so the track ( Raceway Park) told us that we could not run faster than a 10 second pass. This was a huge disappointment to say the least. The first pass Jones took it easy out of the hole and then got on it. The car was misfiring and braking up pretty bad. Upon diagnoses, they found that the crank trigger wheel was damaged and as a result it was rubbing on the crank sensor destroying it. This explained why the car was braking up and misfiring. We could not source another sensor in time before the next race. As soon as the team arrives back from the event, we will have a write up of the event.

First i wanted to thank you all i called you guys the other day great customer service over the phone i forgot who i talked to though but they helped me a lot second i wanted to know is there any reason why you used the 8 motor instead of the 9 motor with the mivec? cant wait to get the f1i by the way
Bc once ur at the power they r at there is no more mivec... That's why they don't use a 9 motor once u fully build a 9 motor u pretty much eliminate the mivec.. Think I'm right if not fill me in

I was great to see AMS at the event. I was happy just seeing them on the road
You guys need to really blow some records away and run a super low 8. The one race you guys go to all year and you can't really even run. 
Hope you head out before the year is over if not give me the car and I will.
