We drove to Las Vegas last Saturday and got the Chassis certed to 6.0. I was told it would pass top fuel with the addition of 1 horizontal bar so we were quiet happy. We then drove to Bakersfield for testing on Sunday. Well we had a great time Sunday at Bakersfield... This was the first time we had all worked together as a team and we thought it went very well.
We fired the car up in the pits and got a lot of peoples attention. We fueled the car and set the timing at 32 locked to be easy on it the first pass. This car also uses a 4 port mechanical fuel injection system. We looked at what we had and came up with a tune for the fuel.
The first pass into the unknown was to be an easy one. Launch soft and accelerate down the track (like getting up on the highway) to make sure all was well with the driveline. We have a GoPro video (that was mounted on the front axle facing back) which came out great. We also had one of my sons filming also and that came out great. We made a good pass, as in no leaks, no questionable noises, car went straight and pulled about three G,s on the race pack all the way down.
8.2 @ 166 not to shabby
Next pass leaned out the fuel a little to bring up the power.......... and
Blew the tires off going in to second. Looked all over the track on that pass.
3rd pass was 15 minutes after the second packed the chute, fueled up and into the lanes as they closed.
3rd pass blew the tires at about 300-400 feet out, staightened out got back into it and made a decent pass to close out the day.
I'll post pictures and video links after we convert the video
Here is a link to the first pass
