That analog radio suits the analog everything else!
Li batts probably the smartest digital tech it rolls with!

Congrats for your wins and being in the sweet zone reliably
and consistently. Amazing diary of your efforts and its evolution

Thanks D.
I'm learning that my car runs faster midday when the temperature peaks out.
A couple of weeks ago I ran a 11.69 and then an 11.66 in the morning. Dialed in an 11.65 and ran a whopping 11.49. My strategy is to back off the nitrous start percentage from 40% to 10%. That should put me at the 11.50 mark.
Friday I'll be racing at the Northwest Good Guys Nationals.
Lets see what the car does.
Next Import Face Off is in August. 👍

Raced at Import Face Off this past Sunday.
Car ran great as always.
Although I didn't take home the trophy, I had a awesome time. 🙂
My buddy Joe runs a VW Bug 2300cc all motor (no nitrous).
It's a crazy car that runs in the 10's but can't compete with the big boy imports so he runs in the 11.50 class with me.
Got my car to run an 11.62 but Joe is a veteran at sand bagging so it's hard to beat that.
He took home the trophy running a 11.52. He's a good friend and we help each other at the track.
Here's a video of us heads up. 🙂

That Bug has been around for so long! how heavy is it compared to your setup?
Seems to really get a good start on ya, but you catch him well at the end.
Would an inch less on your rear tyre help get that 0.15-0.20 seconds??
just seems like 3-4 car lengths you are chasing from that start and many
of your times are around 1.6X etc. Awesome video and amazing cars

Car and driver the bug weighs 1650. My car 2350.
But my powerglide transmission and Ford 8.8 rear-end make up most of the weight of my car.
I've tuned my car to 11.50.
My nitrous control launches me at 40% off the line to 100% at the 60 foot. I could probably bump it to 60-70%.
I'll be heads up with him in Wooburn this October.
Let's see what happens. 😃

Sunday was the Season Opener for me at Import Face Off at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington.
Nothing new on the car so it sat all winter in the garage. Fired it up and loaded it up.
Ran the car in the 11.50 Index and was able to beat Crazy Joe's VW Bug in the Quarter Finals with a 11.511 time.
Ended up taking 2nd Place.
Car ran great with no issues.
Will be checking the track schedules for more events. 👍

Vacationing in Victoria, BC and spotted this right hand drive
1200 from 2 blocks away.
Thanks Carson for the chat. He did mention that his buddy has a sedan on the island as well.
It's fun to talk 1200 stuff. 👍
