That test area is really a great thing about the 131 track. If anything has changed on the car, I go over there and make a run into 2nd gear after going thru tech inspection.

What a RUSH!!! Must of pulled 3 G's on the good launches  I need to play with the tire pressure and the gearing needs to be a bit longer ,I ran out of motor and gearing just befor the 1/8 mi finish  @ 8000rpm 20 ft short :' Just a FYI, ran a best time of 7.7848 @71mph 1/8 mile had to push in the clutch right before the finish and coast the rest of the track ::)and still was coasting and did a smokin 15.1133@54.41mph 1/4mi ;D ;D Probably could beat a stock bus?  ;D ;D ;D ;D( O'well back to the drawing board ;D ;D Attachments:

My X car club up here in hillman just informed me they voted (@ the only meeting I missed since September  ) I can't run the Digger at their drags  won't even give me a good reason when I went to defend my car " I was told It's for the "good of the club" WTF? But they let a cpl Pro cars run @5 seconds 140mph ,I guess $$ talks ,Ther deisition was made before I came to defend myself  because they didn't ask me to help in the pits (like I did for the last 4yrs) when they were working out the job schedual,I sat through a 2 hr meeting and They berely would look at me , a cpl. yrs ago at the X-mas party My wife caught ther "Country Club" Tude (Think Uppity Caddy Shack Judges' Club)but I didn't see it  I've been asking them to move the drags to the Airport(for safety) for a few years but ther excuse was it would take biz from the downtown :: and we did have a Fatality last year when my friend hit a telephone pole ,Guess they(Wheels) think more about their local biz buddys then a human life,So I told them I was going to the Hospital to get the Knife out of my Back,and to stick ther club!!!!!!!! also caught them in a few lies,I don't need ther uppity Tudes,life's to short. |

I too, have ditched a club because attitudes and some lack of action on some puke jack-sses. I don't need to waste my $$$$ and time on clubs that don't/ won't enforce rules evenly. This club seems to keep a handle on that stuff. RICK

No Huge holeshots or water burn outs 
but just a few test drives ;D ;D to get the feel for it 
@ 8000rpm 20 ft short :' Just a FYI, ran a best time of 7.7848 @71mph 1/8 mile had to push in the clutch right before the finish and coast the rest of the track ::)and still was coasting and did a smokin 15.1133@54.41mph 1/4mi ;D ;D Probably could beat a stock bus?

I've been asking them to move the drags to the Airport(for safety) for a few years but ther excuse was it would take biz from the downtown :: and we did have a Fatality last year
