Re: It's About Time (Not MPH)
Impressive stuff, Mark! But none of should be surprised - you know what you're doing. It is always fun to see the run-by-run progress.

Re: It's About Time (Not MPH)
Okay, I completely forgot to update this last January, after our double Combo deal.
Saturday was so windy, we had to race 1/8th mile ...Not a fan at all.I built this car, thinking I'd be getting 7-8 second head starts. Normally, I would have bailed out for Saturday but I wanted to support the boys' efforts in this series. Come to find out, my car only runs about .3 under in the 1/8th. First round , a friend (we're all friends here) put a package on me , and that was that. Sunday, we went back to 1/4 mile, and my little car went back to about a second under. I managed to go a few rounds and get semi-final money. Probably had a shot in that round but took my foot out of it. Big mistake. I don't have enough data to know what kind of a run I was on. But I did learn some things ,which I'll address and report on later. Lately, I been working on a coat of Summit Pure White. I can't paint in my shop, so I had to do it in three stages outside the door, early in the morning. It came out okay I guess. It's kind of a 10 footer right now, but I'm in the process of spiffing it up a little. Yup , I'm getting to the pictures ;-)

Fact is we finally figured out a way to add a bunch of timing to the stock computer. Turns out, it didn't like higher timing at all. It's now back to the setup that was FAST!
