Good day all,

I wanted to share a quick video as I continue to work out the kinks in the GTS Dart and prepare for next season. We decided to haul the car down to Florida for the Thanksgiving Break and run test and tune night at Orlando Speedworld. We only got one run in due to some oil downs and a large number of street cars making runs. However, it was a pretty good one. I decided to do a trans brake launch at the last second and was not trying to hit the tree, hence my delayed start. However, the car launched well and ran a personal best of 6.10 in the 1/8 mile. I let out before the 1/4 mile stripe and still managed to also run a personal best 1/4 mile of 9.78. You can see how much I let out by my trap speed at the finish (114 mph). I've still got some work to do on the tuning and need to focus on the tree next but I'm excited for next season. Met some really cool people there also. Everyone was super friendly.

That is a very nice shakedown run. Thanks for sharing it with us.
 
Car sounds fantastic.....but you went from Texas to Florida for ONE run?

I know it seems strange. Actually, my father's health is not good and he has never been able to see the car run. He lives in Florida now so we took the time during the holiday to haul the car there so he could see it.

I'm sorry to read that. I hope he had a good time.
