!()$!!*#!_$%$!@!#^)#$!$#!$)+$@!#!#((#!)$

THANKS EVERYONE, ya it was close as schitt,
and got dam, nothing beats the feeling of launching
disappointing numbers for both, but I'll take it and learn from it,
it could've been worse.

So... Rob what did you do differently to get that best 60ft?

Oh and in the Vid seems like the tires are spinning slightly.. dude your making torque! What tire pressure are you at in that run?

Thanks JR for hosting and once again thanks to BTJ for his video camera mad skillzzzzzz

Those were the worst ever 60' times I have ever experienced, by as much as .2, Thats another problem I must figure out. But it was a fun day and we got home safe, no tickets, and in one piece.

You LOONY Bastards can spin it anyway you want, but that little white light on the top center of the timing board, is called a win light. Mine was lit twice

Team JLO 2
Team LOONY 0



What so friggin funny was that my "race program" was providing the same ET's as my "street program". Just don't know why Iam not laughing :-(

The 1st run (my worse ever 60ft on Hoosiers) was with more air than I've ever tried before (20 psi)

The 2nd run (my best ever 60ft on Hoosiers) was with
2lbs less air (18 psi) and I switched to my 18 degree timing program (dam heat would have taken another 2 degrees)
!@#$(#@(#@$(#$@(#$@(#$(@#$(@#(@#@$#@($#
Plus I tried one of those Gator Loooooooooooong Smokey's
Much less spin on the 2nd launch, but ya man, it does get up and leap, I LOVE THE JDM BARS, much better launch AND FEEL INSIDE
