Just got a couple runs at the local track (Infineion Raceway) and I wasn't all that happy. 1st run I couldn't get traction at all and ran a 2.5 60 foot time but after the launch the car pulled hard and I ended up running a 14.3 at 100.3mph. Next run I launch pretty good 2.1 60 foot time and the car ran a 9.0 1/8 mile. In comparison, the 1st tun I did a 9.4 1/8 mile which ended up being a 14.3. This run, as soon as I hit 3rd, the car just bogged and lost all power for a second so I let off the gas and coasted to a 14.4 at 80mph. The 1/8th mile MPH for that run was 79! It would have easily been in the 13's if that didn't happen. And my last run I launched OK with a 2.2 60 foot time, 14.1 at 99mph. The car was idling very long in the lanes and was heat soaked.

I wonder WTH the bog was all about?

I hate it when you have to lift and coast! Once I was manually shifting and I hit the 1-2 shift perfect but touched the rev limiter on th 2-3 shift. I lifted, dropped into 3rd and coasted through with a 14.7 @ 80.
