    She ran up against a VW jetta. This was her first time running the SRT-4 at the track. She got 14.7 @ 94mph with a 2.396 60'. For her first time with the car at the track I think she did good. We both need to practice on our launches. This is the second time the car has been to the track.

    By the way. The video quality sucks I know and it went blurry when I tried zooming in as the car was moving. It was done with a point-n-shoot camera and my night settings are not so great. If your wondering she reeled him in, pass him, put a few car lengths on him and won.

    My best run was that and it was with the boost controller off, spiking 16.7.

    I turned on the boost controller and put it on setting "A" which after the run I check the peak on the boost and it was 18.4 spike. Seemed with the higher boost the traction suffered. So when I run at the track I may run it with the boost controller off.

    I was wondering who that was. I saw the Jeep.

    Yeah the wind direction was terrible.

    I'm going to be working on that 60'. That's currently where my problem is.

    With the mods I say close to mid to high 13's on street tires.

    We had a great time. Even though the numbers could be better we know what the car is capable of so it doesn't really affect us. Just need to go more often to practice :yes:
