Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Good day at the track since I was able to drive home, but not without adventures!

Got close to BIR tried to go around some traffic and the car felt down on power big time, did another pull and it was lean by almost 2 points. I thought it was the pump dying, but it turned out to be the fuel filter.

That's my own fault because I have always changed them once I take the car out of storage and this year I didn't. Lesson learned.

Car went 11.4, 11.4, 11.4, 11.4, 11.38, 11.4, crap run my shift box ate it's face for a round, 11.4.

So then I called it a night every single trap speed was 119mph.

Figured out launching at about 15-17psi is the best I ran all 1.6x 60Ft times.

For some reason I really enjoyed driving the car today and fell in love with it again, seeing tachyon's car made me realize how good looking I think these cars are.

I'm going to be concentrating on cleaning up the paint as best as I can. I actually don't know if I have put wax on this car since owning it, but I will try to soon.
