Re: Rudy is in Florida, so is my car
Jim, did Rudy install a roll cage while he had it??? You could have a short night at the track if not.....
Maybe you could see how many tracks you can get kicked off of......

What kind of resevoir do you have for the s/c? What were your IATs?
PS Please tell whoever filmed your runs to say/speak the times and trap speed on the vids so we know what it did on each pass.

Re: Rudy is in Florida, so is my car
Looks like he's still searching for traction. It's wrinckle wall time...lol...It certainly has the torque to require them. It reminds me of Super Stock...too bad we can't have a higher geared rearend... He will figure her out in time. It has a separated system. Don't know the volume of it.
