First time at the track!

Well, was out at the track 2 weekends ago (finally getting around to posting this here, damn 60 hour work weeks). Had a LOT of fun, and the car ran really good on the 110 octane that I threw in. Here's a quick run down of my setup and the times of the 4 runs. Let's hear your thoughts!

[Daves67Cuda]

Thanks guys! Had a complete blast... hoping to go back after Nationals when the weather might be cooler. :headbang:

OHOAD - honestly, I don't know. Was more watching the line on when to back out, but if I had my guesses, I'd say about 4500 or so... I know she still had some, but was getting close to running out of gear...

not to shabby lemonhead d/a i think was 2,500ish wasnt it? You'll get it faster, keep at the tuning and such. bump up the secondary jets until your mph starts to drop off and jump one back. get your timing setup too

Good time, especially for a mildly tuned bent 6.
