Ya the weight ejector works fine but someone should have told me they activated it I had no clue till I was changing plugs in the shut down and seen a big hole were my exhaust should have been I thought it was still on the track ran up to the safety guy in a panick and he said ya ya we got it...thanks for tellin me :confused:

As for performance things started off a little shakey but worked out in the end, first qualifier rolled the lights I wasn't nervous my wallet was but I knew it was a good run second Q 8.62 @162 #1 qualifier third round 8.64@ 162 but got bump into #2 qualifier by .001 first round ran a quicker 8.70@ 160 with no exhaust to his 8.74@158 but had a bad light and he got me, game over. :(

But on the good side I have 200 hp to go on the nitrous and all passes were with a 1.40 or worse 60' so I can still step it up :-D alittle.

Thanks to everyone that made this weekend possible

if I have a new tranny and clutch in the car I will be at the next race. whether it will be in 12.90 or 10.90 really depends on if the vortech is on the car by then.

Note how jet turbine engine technology plays a roll here (black cone shaped confabulator thing on the right) that's where the thrust comes from kid's:smt103

i am guessing the cone was just so the muffler was long enough to meet the class rules, just a guess anyhow. i use the same reducer to mate up my y pipe to run my full street exhaust :)

it must have been easy to get to the pass. side plugs ;)

Kieth....you might want to patent that. You only have to pass tech once, right?!
