Well on friday I'm haeding down to Oxfordplains dragway. The first race of the year for me, I missed the first one. I'm hoping to get down into the 7.9 sec range, last year I only went once and had no Idea how to launch without pointing at the sky:doh . So after some practice I'm gonna give it another shot. I havnt changed anything but the tire (donlop GT502) and HSR42 since last year.

Wish me LUCK,
-James

well, not as good as I hoped for, 8.24 @ 81.3mph, good reaction, and was able to keep the front down. So I'm gonna keep going back, and have some funwith it.

8.24 is not too bad.... ya launched it good and that's important......should only take a few races to meet or excede your target speed.....

tire pressure, spring rates and shock valving are tuning tools...... but ya gotta experment some.....

keep us posted.

yup. I think some tuning time on the mukuni will help. Not having much luck going back, went last week to get rained out:censor . but hey thats what I get for living in maine.
