Call to first round - car develops bad miss (absolutely no previous hint of a problem)

Electronic - nothing to be done

All we forgot on this 5000 mile $5000 trip was- any good LUCK at all

I hate people saying at least you were there - at least you tried

Sorry - disappointment is the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations to manifest

Very seldom will a miss be caused by the electronics. Start looking for it as you would if it had a carb.

Thanks for the tip Ed

We had a leaking spark plug wire on the dyno once - had some kind of a nick in the insulation

Acted a lot like this but ....

May be a stuck injector this time from all of the fowl Andy killed shooting ducks

I was told by some of the faster solid axle cars of a big bump in the right lane. I looked and saw it on my Racepak shock and driveshaft sensors. I was not happy with the starting line this year, I averaged 1.26 - 1.27 60 foots at Indy, was 1.31's here in much better weather. However, it is a great place to race! The people are wonderful and are happy to see you, they treat you with respect and are a model track for the NHRA. See you next year. Dyno
