We went to the annual Ford v. Buick shootout at Thunder Valley, Ok this weekend. Car ran like a refrigerator. Plug it in and it just works. I didn't turn a wrench on it all day. I did play with timing a little but didn't get datalogs on 2 of the runs because I didn't have any more room to datalog on my phone. Deleted some old logs and I was back in business. I bumped the rear tire pressure from my normal 12psi up 14psi and it was super stable and the 60' was pretty good.
Ford won again, but it was not a landslide. Buick was ahead until we got into the 10 sec and faster cars, but it was a good time as always.
Car is fast and sooooooo much fun to drive. It ran quicker every pass it made except for one. I let it idle too long in the staging lanes and heated up the fuel. It hiccuped pretty hard at the hit. In the finals, I got paired up with a decently fast Buick, but he didn't have enough for the Mustang. He did tree the heck out of me though!
First pass. 10.29
Hiccup pass. 10.39
Finals. Skip to 1:56 for the good stuff.
