I met up with Steve and Erin today at the track for a little racing fun. It was hot and humid as hell, but we still had a great time.

Steve was fighting the usual gremlins, trying to figure out his launch control and tire pressure. When his car wasn't going into limp mode it was stalling. He still managed a 11.92 @ 122 against a 20 second car. As Steve says, he's got a 10 second car with a 11 second driver. I'm looking forward to his car running the way it should, as it will be more fun for us both. It's not very fun watching your buddy struggle, knowing he's frustrated. I've been there, and it's not a fun place to be.

My wife only recorded Erin's slow run (12.8), but I believe he pulled off a 12.5 before we left. The DA was pretty high today.

As for me, it was two 11.5's. I think I was running slower due to narrowing the plug gap for a 100 shot, but I only ran a 75. I'm going to open the plug gap tomorrow, and forget the 100 or 125 shot until fall.

Anyway, here's some photos and videos of today's fun. Maybe next time more of the local guys can make it.
