First pass done

We went out this weekend and made a few runs, had a blast but did have some issues.
Transbrake button shorted, fuel reg lost a o ring ( fumes like to have killed me way rich) Butterflys and the first run almost gave me a heart attack.
Its been 25+ years since I raced so my nerves were crazy.

Had to leave around 2500-3000 cause of the transbrake and shifted early cause I was green, even let out of it a few times ---nerves---

1st pass was 7.00 around 93 mph
2nd 6.97 103 mph
3rd 6.98 105 mph

Should fly once I get the bugs out.

Re: First pass done

very nice....a lot of fun isn't it. With that MPH you should be in the mid 6's after you get the bugs worked out.

Re: First pass done

The track at the river isnt the best but they are working hard to make it right,
they cut it level and they should be back to 1/4 soon.
