While everyone was having fun in Vegas, us dumb midwesterners braved the cold and went to the track on Saturday. I think we had about a dozen MKIVs there.
Had some issues with one IC pipe that popped off 3 out of 4 passes
And we have a very badly slipping 3rd gear now.
I have a really cool video of us spinning the slicks, argh! Could not muster better than a 1.47 60' with most times being in the 1.5s. I think we need a wider slick now. We still ran our best 1/8th track mph at about 116.
Ran 9.7, 9.9, 10.0 and 10.1 and did NOT hit the wall or spin the car at all this year
Guess I should not complain then. The 10.0 pass we launched way too hard and spun the slicks badly. On the 10.1 pass the NOS ran out at about half track. With all these little problems we had Saturday, it really makes me realize how lucky we got with that 9.54 pass last year.
