He left back to AZ.
So I will have to fix it myself.
I do really appreciate the comments from the peanut/popcorn gallery.
Good motivation.

Hopefully Mr. Boehner can figure out how to make it leave straight
Just line up crooked (aimed left) and raise the rpm another 500 and you'll be just fine. :D :D

If I raise the launch another 500 it will be in the other lane or wall.

Hey Pops,
What a great setup! Fantastic!
Sad I didn't make the list.

Ok, I am over being mad.
Since JR. sent me his Doorslammer book.

I did a bunch to the Colt in the last few weeks.
It was only 98 yesterday so we took it out to see what the changes did.
And it seems very close to being "Fixed"
It ran a couple of 8.15s and went where I had it pointed.

I got the clutch tamer just about right, might have a quarter or half turn to much on the slip tuning right now.
When I turn the video player to 1/4 speed you can hear the clutch slip.

So that was the last test before Clay City, so I have what I have.

POPs, you and Simmons can quit worrying about me staying in my lane.

Will, I kept adding air and I got it to turn a tire, so I know what it needs on a prep-ed track.

Here is the last pass from last night.

That is great Stan! Glad your ready for a heads up race down the track! :D :D Too bad we don't have 4 lanes. You, Dennis and I should all be pretty close to each other time wise!

I'll take either one of you heads-up, 1/8th mile for $100. Money goes to the prize pot. :D

Will also do side bets that don't go to the pot. :mrgreen:
