Got two runs in today. The first one I had the RPM up pretty high when I staged, and went -.036 red. Also had my brain in reverse valve body mode resulting in a very late shift into second gear. And there was a head wind. The result was 12.829 at 100.58. It ran quite smooth, but wandered around at the top end. I guess at least part of that was the wind, but I'm not all that impressed with the steering box. Seems to allow it to wander more than my Camaro does. Vibration was mostly or completely gone, not quite certain.



The second run I staged much lower, around 2400 and got an .040 light. Wind had dropped a lot and I shifted on time (6800 RPM). It ran 7100 RPM at the stripe and ran 12.560 at 103.53.
