Well I had a Busy Week.

On Tuesday I made some exhibition test and tune runs in Baraboo at their farm pull. Truck ran decent.

With nothing broke to fix I got bored so I painted the B's on my Bridsgestones to match the colored Bridgestone B.

Then on thursday we had a points hook in Jefferson. It ran ok but snuffed out like it always does. That track was really taking some power and the sled was set hard.

Then On Saturday we had another points hook in baraboo. 20 trucks total went down the track and each one was running strong. I ran OK but still not the best

Then On sunday i fired up the truck to drive it off the trailer to put on the new front traction bar mounts. But it didnt start just clicked. So We rolled it off the trailer into the shop and grabbed a new starter. In the process of removing the frontpipe I broke the V Band clamp. The nut must have jumped a thread. So I called the autoparts store and they had one in their warehouse. Made the long drive and got it and surprisingly it was the right style. So then we went pulling. Ended up 6th out of 25 trucks. It ran decent but still not as good as it couldve.

Heres my pull.

The biggest thing i need to work on is keeping the turbo alive at the end I havent spun out yet and its hurting my distances.

Looking good Vinny..

Looks like you need more fuel. I agree, it falls on its face hard at the end.

It could use a touch more ive played with it.

In my test and tune the first pass it held 24,000psi. I added some fuel but got a little carried way and it only held 19,000psi and you can tell by listening it didnt run as strong. But it was later the track couldve changed, the sled was set different and i took a different path.

I went somewhere in between in jefferson and it rn OK, but my logging was a little erratic.

Ill keep playing with it.

I tuned my brothers tractor pretty good though, shouldve gave it more. Which reminds me i need to go turn it down.

Good vids Vinny. If you could keep it spooled at the end you'd be right up there!
I thought your brother was gonna put that sled out in the parking lot!
Damn that sled was down hard at 1/2 track...
