    New Best 1/8 mi ET (+Video)

    I decided to check out Barona and the Funny Car Summer race. It was my first time racing there and it was a blast. Lots of spectators (for a California race), cool cars and great track. I haven't used the 50-shot of nitrous off the line for a long time, so I tried it and ended up with my new best time in the 1/8 mi. 1.42 60', 6.46 @ 105.95 mph. I got some cool video from inside my car during a run and also from the starting line. I think they're too big to post though.

    Seems to work great. I've gone as fast as 132 mph in the 1/4 and it is smooth and straight even after letting off and braking. How's your's coming?

    I'm going to try and figure out how to post the videos on youtube.
