My tired old DE still has some legs left I suppose. Not bad for a dedicated autocross car. It was the first time it had been fired up since the last event of the year. Still on 850/700 springs, custom koni's, and worst alignment in the history of drag racing. It was the first time I went down the strip in 2ish years. I will probably re-align the rear when I run about this time next year. It's a full prep (minus aero and E85) BSP autocross car. With an E85 tune, more aggressive plenum porting, and re-align....I think it can go 12.60-12.70 range next December. We'll see.

Hi Mike,
Wish I could have been there

So many racers, such good time had. Find another 10 h.p. Congratulation!
As you can see, I haven't changed

I'm done here anyway. I must say , the moderators are fair & stick to business just like you.
Later

We're not that fragile. No humor.

This is a tech section, if you want humor, I can recommend the lounge area.

Adrenaline still flowing, you can't even sleep

Why Dec. of next year? Why not cool days of March?
I didn't want to say it, but after watching/listening to the video, since you posted about shifting, I think after road racing, getting back into power shifting would get you a 1/10 or more. Old car, & only 270 h.p. shows that the driver is the biggest mod. Cost? practice time

Hope to meet you one day.
