First outing at National Trail with the Cuda
« on: April 25, 2010 - 10:39:48 AM »
I went to Trails on Friday 4-23-2010 for a track rentail. First time ever with a transbrake. The Car launched well and the 60' times were much better but I did have some down the track driving issues which I was make adjustments for but before the 3rd run in the staging lane I broke 2 rocker arms. More valve train issues.

Awesome car! Looks like it gets a little hard to handle once it gets out there a ways though.

 Had some steering wheel issues so I keep turn to the right.

Here is a 9.992 run form National Trail in June. So far the car has a best 9.89 but I have not made it to the track on a good weather day so I think there is about a tenth more in it.
