This is what Eric Gaudi told me in a message:

"8.6 Breaking up in 4th... alternator died and killed the ignition so no power in 4th gear. Day is done"


I heard it was 8.63 @ 167mph

Man just plagued with problems I wonder if they did any dyno tuning prior, it probably would have came up.

At the level these guys are running, some problems are to be expected. Thats why they are #1 and no one else is closer. They wont give up, so expect better numbers next time. Its not easy, or cheap to keep this cars running.

Didn't go as well as hoped, but we still set the fastest E.T. and Mph of the year. And believe me when I say, that pass felt SLOW. I was expecting to hear that I ran a 9.0 or somethning of the sorts. The battery voltage under full throttle in the logs was 10.9-11.0 volts, so we have alternator or wiring issue to deal with.

We have a few small issues to fix and we'll get it back to the track very shortly. ♠

Oh and afterwards, I RIPPED the house down at drums and vocals in Rock Band in front a huge crowd of 8!
