Ran once at the track.

14.9 @ 103 (2.9 60'). Went into the staging and didn't launch at all, and still managed to bog horrifically. Trap was ok though for 15 PSI I guess, but I'll be the first to admit that at this point, I am a shitty driver. It's all my fault and not the car. Jordan has a video of some around town driving I am hoping he will get up soon.

I ran it once, then it overheated, so I didn't want to risk it again, but since another guy broke down in our return caravan, I trailered his car to Syracuse and he drove mine the 360 miles back to NY. It also overheated badly on the highway again (in construction traffic) but made it home famously once we topped off the coolant and ran the heat.

Again, car runs great. I suck at driving it.

Also of note, when the car got to Ohio, the engine had 17 miles on it. By Sunday morning it had 100, and now it has just over 500. It runs fantastic, but I need to learn how to drive it on the track all over again.

This weekend I'll get some in car footage as much as I can as I have a little maintenance to do on it, then I'll go out and tune it for about 23-24 PSI on pump gas. It was tuned perfectly for 15 PSI so I left it alone for Ohio driving. I'll update the situation as more people have Q's.

Short version: I suck at driving the car.
