I've been getting a lot of "Y u no faster" comments which I expected. So I'll jsut address this now. While there is a ton of reasons I can throw out the two you got to keep in mind are

1. I have to drive better. My slips are not where they need to be in the first half of the 1/4. I got to step it up


2. I'm kind of uncharted territory. Just like everyone else in a X I have to compare myself to guys who aren't on setups similar to me. If you look at the known 1/4 miles lists I doubt any of those cars were running any combination of

93 oct
Full face single disc clutch
235 all seasons

I just found out while on the track my car is banging off the limiter at 129 traps. I'd like to trap 131 to make my life easier getting this 10 but that's the wrong way to go about trying to get a time. So since I can't rely on my cars muscle I'm just gonna have to step up my driver mod.

Bear with me guys. I'll get the hang of it eventually lol

BTW--- We fixed "Gorilla X's" bug!! Map sensor took a dump...

Found one of his slips from the day--- Check out the pass to the 1/8th






Slip look familiar? lol -- He was also trapping 100mph to the 1/8th.

So moral of the story is,,,, Stop beating yourself up. It's not enough clutch after all of the months of abuse. Too much power and weight to hit the 1/8th as hard as you want. Clutch it up!! I'm calling Competition today!!

So we pulled the clutch down for inspection after 40+ drag launches, Ninja shifting, and midnight Mexican runs--- Not as bad as we thought at all!!





Spoke to Dan at Competition-- We are very proud of his product. We stand behind your pumpgas effort. Time to take a step-forward with your clutch set-up and upgrade the disc to something more "battle-ready".

Sponsorship has its advantages----

6-puck sprung,,, coming right up.



Just one request--- Can we get some fresh all-seasons??



Half of these tires are on your fender liners--- :bowlol: :bowlol:




We're almost ready to head back out --- It seems you have someone to contend with next time up?? Can we say-- "3-way battle royale"?
