new best 9.57@140.10 all motor Lt1

well first I was lil skeptical about running it so quickly since i had no tune time...first time i fired it up was yesterday morning..so I jut threw some fuel at it and said oh well might as well make some test runs sunday...

got to track this morning air wont to bad around 64* 350 DA had a pretty good head wind but still god day none the less to make some passes..

only got to make 3 passes

first pass: pardon no 330' and 1000' anybody runs richmond before knows you dont get those times..

1.398 60 ft. car got on bar shook hard
6.19@112.78
9.69@140.01

at this point I was like wow..raised wheelie bar and tightened up the afcos up front which produced the best pass of the day which was good indeed. still got on the bar hard and spun some but a much better pass
