Good weather this past Sunday meant that I should take out the car once more before snow falls. Thanks to a willingly pitcrew to make it out there with me on their day off(last minute type deal). Much thanks!!!
Got there....teched the little egg. Guys prepped tires, etc etc. Quickly run and hit 38psi via gauge(true 36.8psi logged via Hondata). Decent pass at 9.66@158+mph. No biggy I knew I can easily best that. Was just my shakedown pass. Go to see the rear and my chute rod broke off....not at the weld, but it literally broke in half. I'm not mentioning the name of this company(pretty big one too), but racing is racing. so our day ended quite early with a decent mid 9sec pass.
I did have a thought of running w/o chute, but I just remembered we would be trapping in the 160+mphs if the car is driven to it's full potential. So, I made the better choice.
Whatever.....hope 2011 treats us even better.
Enjoy the video...........added fishing section because a certain site had a few fishermen that commented.
