Just got home from the NHRA Open race in New Brunswick; Vega was awesome all weekend against some pretty stiff competition. I was #1 qualifier on Friday in Super Gas(9.90 index), only went one round, but on Saturday I went to the semi final and finished 3rd. A gear change this season from 4.30 to 4.57 has really made the car a bunch quicker, somewhere in the range of two tenths.
Car now has gone 9.35 in the 1/4 and 5.94 in the 1/8th, and that was in not particularly good air(DA of 2000ft). Previous bests of 9.45 and 6.01 were in ideal conditions near sea level.
