Re: Project Lex

Slow on updates. My best time of the weekend was 11.1 @ 131mph. That was with a 1.9 60ft. I was spoiled with AWD in the past, so taking me a bit of time to learn how to get this thing out of the hole. But had fun and I'm happy with that for being my first passes in 2yrs, and first ever passes on this new setup.

What seemed to help me was doing a 2nd gear burn-out for ~5sec. Tires were at 14-15psi. I think I need to stay on the anti-lag a little longer, or perhaps raise my launch RPM and that might help me get a better 60'.

The whole family came up too which was really fun. The excitement on my boys faces was priceless. We stayed off site a couple miles away at a private site with a lakeside cabin. I think I will definitely be doing that again in the future!

Overall was a fun weekend. Here's a couple photos as well as a short video of my best pass.

Little video showing my best pass from this weekend. Could have been the worst pass in history, but the excitment on our little boys faces would have still made it all a complete success.

11.10 @ 131mph (1.9 60ft needs some work)
