Likewise Paulie. Was really gutted in the end. I was pumped to see what would happen but it just wasn't to be.

A worst there is a test n tune on the 27th that could be a go

driver cooling. i lose 20kg in sweat each round and i've still got the insulation in the FG. the EF is going to be so much fun in summer.

Norm McCormack is using a cool vest (with 8 ice bricks) under his suit in the Mr Filter FED dragster paulie. he swears by it ( and coming back up the return road in last round i would too, it gets mighty hot in that cockpit behind the powerglide.

Have entered for the track championships this weekend so will hope the weather plays out better for me

sweating it out sounds like a good way to get quicker times and run less boost

it will mess with the dial in

Went out yesterday and got a few runs in. First pass was a lazy 60' of 1.44 and peeled off an 8.4@174mph and broke a belt. Next pass broke the same belt and pass after that I hadn't screwed the fuel cap on properly and dumped a bunch of E85 on the Tarmac.

Made a bunch of adjustments to the two step, launch boost and shift timing and was keen for a final pass to see what could happen and. Got stopped after the burnout for dropping a little water. Day done unfortunately....

Big wins on the mph and very excited about where to next. Learning the new setup will probably take us a little bit of time to find the sweet spot, but definitely well placed to go forward.

Bring on the 27th test n tune.

Sounds good Paulie....

A 1.2 or low 1.3 60' and we will see some nice times now I think.
