Finally got to test my new used trans I bought this spring. My 60' times & mph were slower and I was all over the rev limiter at the 1/4 mile. My best run was the 1st when I foot braked a 10.43 @ 128 mph. 2nd run the trans brake didn't release when I let go of the button but ran a 10.46@ 127 mph. Third run transbrake worked fine but car spun the tires about 3' off line and only ran a 10.58 @ 128. Wanted to make another run but there was another oil down (4th of the day) so I loaded up and went home.
Depending on weather and how many beers I drink tonight, I might take the other car out tomorrow to 1/8 mile track.

weather & beer are both unpredictable sometimes!

I'll drink to that!

I can almost always predict when I'm gonna drink a beer. Usually right after I open the top
