So far no real pain here except the small cuts on my hands from installing the power harness/relay, etc. at the track in the pits Saturday while I had the room to open both doors full wide and enjoy a decent fall weather day in Vegas and heal and sooth my slightly hurt feelings from a great plan gone awry a bit resulting in a tough 1st rnd loss motivating me fully to up my plan of finally finishing the upgrade now and not wait until the car is home on December 1st. Get that stupid but absolutely necessary project completed.

Eventually after it is done I will move on to take advantage of the 2 step capability it provides. The plan w/ a zero caffeine.-.002 R.T. in Q1, was to simply go caffeine free first rnd and reduce the
Stage stall speed just 200 RPM and tear down the tree while only affecting the E.T. what I was dialed for.

I did just as planned, pre-staged as usual, looked down at the tach, reduced the stall 200 (I could hear and see the 200rpm reduction), looked up and (oh crap the car behind me was already doing his burnout, I could no longer hear my car at all), I bumped in within 3 bumps shallow....And light was right but felt slow and lazy. L. Emmons easily had a better run, deserved the win light.

The time slip showed 5 hun slower than all 3 of my prior Q passes that were all
pretty much matching and very slow but
consistent 2.32 60' times and once you are off that far in a slow car it is pretty much over and cannot be made up.

My tattle tale tach showed the 200rpm reduction, then another 300rpm drop while bumping in and that is my issue to resolve, and 2 step capability will do so.

You cannot take 500rpm out at stall and expect the light or 60' time to still be there. But, at least now I know what caused a great race to turn south, and the solution to not have that happen again. And now have the motivation to do now what I planned on doing a little later and get it live tested at my last event racing this season.

I just need a little expert knowledge to get it done.
