First off, I must say that watching PTGT_Boy and itsawolf racing side by side was great fun! I had a good viewpoint at the fence for the whole thing, and it was one of the best races of the night! Well done boys!

I had a very consistent night and had no traction problems like last month, which just plain sucked. The only changes I made were the addition of 8.5mm Magnecor ignition wires and regapping my factory plugs to .042 from their factory .050 settings.

Race Notes: I backed off on the revs at launch last night, except for run 4 where I pulled 'em up to about 1500rpm. Runs 3&4 were done with front tire pressure at 38psi, rears at 44psi. First two were at 34psi all around. Run 3 was against a BMW M3 (E36 body - not the new ones) and I stayed with him through 330' then he pulled away, running a 14.1 to my 14.9. The last run was against itsawolf and since he's a demon on the lights I knew I had to go for it. Uh, I went for it a little to aggressively and got my first ever red light. But I also got my best ever time, beating my previous by 0.002 of a second and 0.60mph.

Damn good time, and looking forward to next month!
