GOT MY LICENSE...FINALLY

(1/4) > >>

xlr8:
After two years of hurdles and setbacks, my brother Mike, my son Andrew and a long time friend Tom helped me get my NHRA competition license passes completed this past Saturday! Huge respect for all you guys that are faster (almost all of you are) than mine. My adrenaline is just now getting back to normal! :)

Supercat:
Congratulations on the achievement....
What was your best ET and MPH as these are just a starting point of the addiction  :) or the spot where the speed of the car is equal to or slower than the money leaving your bank account  :o
Nice looking FED by the way.

AF150:
Way to go...now on to that first round win!  Whoo-hoo!

xlr8:
Thanks, guys. We got it to go 5.86@123 mph in the eighth. Next time up we will step it up a little. How do you guys handle the bounce after the stripe? I had to let off the brake and reapply a couple times to make it stop bouncing, but I'm pretty sure it was airborne a few times.

Supercat:
What tires and air pressure on the rear and what air pressure on the front tires.
That will have some to do with the bounce.
Also go easy on the brakes at first with slight increase in pressure as you slow down. Never skid(can be easy to do on some tracks) as it will get you bouncing also.
