Finally have the car completely finished after running into some major problems with lack of travel on the front suspension.
Car is loaded in the trailer and waiting for some fine weather to get to a test and tune before Christmas. Hopefully Wed 15th will work out.
I have entered both New Years Series events at Willowbank in January and hope to have made a full pass at one of the upcoming test and tunes
beforehand.

1st run couldnt find 2nd gear, bad adjustment
2nd run found 2nd and got to third but after every gearchange it wants to go sideways so he backed off
i missed the third and he was going back today, a lot of things to sort out but i can say when he launches the thing from the start you can tell there
is plenty of power there and it wants to go very hard so we should see some nice times from this car when its sorted out

Willowbank live timing says Michael ran an 11.92@83.3.
Most likely a half pass for licencing.
Half track was 6.81 and 1.44 sixty foot.
Missed the mph, but based on what I have run in the past it will be over 100mph.

Had a fairly good night. First pass was a half pass for licencing. Got off it before half track (7500 RPM in 3rd) and coasted to the finish. 1.440
60', 4.350 330', 6.815@94.00 for the 1/8th, 11.924@83.30 for the 1/4.
Car launched reasonably straight and shifted fine after making adjustments to the rear suspension and shifter from last time out.
Tweaked the rear end for the second pass. Launched more aggressively than the first, started nice and straight but the wheelie bars unloaded left rear
tire and got out of shape. Got off it and didn't record a time.
Got some good data and video of the rear end, so we are getting on top of the suspension setup. Shouldn't be too long before a full pass.
I'll get the video up in the next couple of days, not the best quality but you can see what's going on.

Pretty sure the shocks were from Lummus.
Probably out dated spax if my memory gets dusted off.
