Enjoy life with your son. I'm restoring an old Mustang with my son now who's nearing driving age. You'll never get the time back when they are grown.

Thx for the nice words. Yes totally agree and sounds like a fun project with your son!

Nothing special because I ran a mid boost map (~23psi) all day as the event trap speed equipment was broken and this is an arm drop half mile drag race where my lower boost map launches harder (doesnt spin the launch). I went over 180 in the half mile and over 147 in the quarter mile at a previous event at 26psi. But spun a lot on the launch.

From what I recall mid boost map doing high 9's/low 140's quarter mile and mid 15's/mid 170's half mile. Very hot with mild headwind. 0.0% slope.
