11:00 for me, and back out here at 6:00.  I have only driven the car up to second gear @4500 rpm with 7 pounds boost 2 days ago.  Thats it.  No other  tuning launching or seeing  if it will start again.  I hope to be at Mission by 2:30 so I can still wire in my head lights and tail lights.  I wanted to fab up a bumper loop bar so I don't get bumped in the staging lanes, ran out of time, cross my fingers that that doesn't happen.

Call me nuts but my waste gate is set at 12 pounds.  I will have to watch the EGT like a hawk going down the track.  First pass will have to take it easy forsure, and hopefully not have to shut it down.

Have to finish the roll bar this moring, and wash the car then pack and leave.

See you there.

Kevin

Drag racing??? Is that this friday???

Cant make it guys. I gotta full schedule at work from doing a timing belt/water pump on a 3L dodge caravan and a clutch job w/ master cylinder R&R on a Civic. I probably wont have time to make it out.  This sucks.
