Getting Loose in 3rd and 4th gear !
Toinght was a lot of fun, what a rush
I went to Atco, NJ to test some new boost control ideas I have been trying to wrap my head around for the past couple of weeks
By the 2nd full pass, I am starting to get the car dialed in well (still down 9 psi lower than my normal race target)
I bogged 1st a bit then you can see if you watch the video carefully, the car spins the tires slightly and starts to rotate a bit in 3rd AND 4th
I can only tell you that this car is getting to be a real handful now
A few more changes and I will be ready for the nect race
BTW - that pass was a 9.8 something

I can only speak for myself, when I get to the track, I usually get very excited and pumped up and I talk a lot of trash, it gets me motivated and in the mood to race
I like to think that the performance of my car is what people would consider - that and my dedication to the hobby / sport what ever of racing evos
I am sure I could put on a facade of politically corect behaviour to placate individuals suich as yourself but frankly, when you are at a drag racing track with a bunch of real racers there is no need
Thanks
