Well, this isn't talking about racing; it's talking about TnT!

Anyway, testing didn't go as expected yesterday. The only real change(s) I made to the car was putting on new PBRs & new rocker arms, both the same part numbers.

The car was an absolute turd & the driver wasn't far behind. It was all at the starting line for both of us. I started with a .046 & improved slightly with the runs. I did have a .005 on the last pass to save some face, in the other lane was/is one of the best in the business. He didn't disappoint & had a .008! I was slightly distracted from the staging lanes, burnout, staging & the run. While I was trying to do my thing. I was also trying to learn from the master at the same time. The only thing that could have been better is meeting him in competition.

As for the car, it wasn't a wheely monster on any of the runs & struggled to pick the tires up. I did loosen up the front shocks & it helped a little. The only thing I forgot do/try was turning off the launch retard.

There you go, the good & bad of testing. I think I get 1 or 2 test hits Tues. at the Spring Fling. Need to decide on the plan of attack.

It's time for the rubber to meet the track again, no resting on my keyboard laurels here!

Hope to find time, make rounds happen & post up results; good or bad. Cheers to the Spring Fling Experience!

Don't know, the belt looks good; it does have 100+ runs on it. Lots of throttle ripping can't be good on them.

We have new broken in belt with 5 runs on it now.

It appears only one of the Dynamic Duo showed up, so far.
