I wrote a short report last night after the race but the connection was terrible where I was sitting, besides, I was freezing sitting outside.

Nothing broke, but we did have an electrical gremlin stop by. The first pass was just on one stage to check things out. Absolutely the most violent launch I have experienced to date. I ended up with an 8.142 at 166.79 on the first pass using one stage! Last year's best was 8.13 on two stages.

The next two passes were just motor only due to the nitrous shutting down 1 second into the run. Those ended up being 8.72 and 8.68.

Putting on the big tires was the best move we have made since the beginning of all this fun.
