A big thanks to Charlie@The Race Shop! Finially a year after he freshened up and straightened out the mechanical fuel injection project we (brother & I) were able to make a complete full power pass during Halloween Havoc at Da'Grove. WIR did't hold very well on the Oct 3rd RSD, being cool and late in the day I'm assuming made a big difference. At GLD Saturday we were able to get the car to bite and ran a 10.08 right off the trailer, then followed by a 9.97 @ 131. Now know what is possible it's just up to fine tuning the suspension, launch, etc. Charlie said it should go nine's & I didn't think it was possible, being that it isn't that light and 9 inch tire, but he nailed it!
Thanks again Charile for setting up the Ron's Fuel injection and getting that 434 to make power during the whole 1320ft.

Looks good Mark and Mike, glad it worked out. Charlie was a big help in setting ours up also. At the gamblers race we ran two 9.09 @ 148 mph passes back to back. Can't wait to get back out next year.

Dang, That's like flirting with 8's, go figure it takes a season to figure the car out, but it sounds like you should be running strong in the spring.

We will probably have to do some safety upgrades (full cage, etc.) this winter hopefully we can run more often next summer.
