Front Engine Dragsters / Re: 2nd Test Session This Evening

I think we had a good night at the test-n-tune last night. No massive puddles of oil or transmission fluid under the car and the car still could be rolled onto the trailer.
The 1/8 Mi. track was no-prep last night and the car ran a best of 7.06 at 99.75 MPH. While I was building the car I found an online racing calculator that said at the expected weight and HP the car would run slightly under 7.00 at about 100 MPH, so I guess it wasn't too far off. Needless to say there are a lot of cars a lot faster than mine, but I'm pretty happy and now we can concentrate for consistency for bracket racing.
