We had the car out at SCR after the winter rebuild and upgrades. We had upgraded the front suspension with dynamic struts, ali tie rods, tubular uppers and calvert front shocks. the motor had a little more head porting which gained some mid flow lift.
First pass was just a easy 1/8th and we cruised the 1/4 10.68 @ 90. !/8th mile number were fair but the car seemed to behave.
So we were ready to go for it on the next pass, a 1.45 to the 60 saw the car go left. At the top end the car started to weave really bad and I had to lift. 9.75 @ 133.
We swapped out the calvert front shocks since they were the easiest and got to make our last pass of the day. The car pulled left again on the start with a small wheelie but seemed to behave itself at the top end 9.722 @ 139 pleased with the terminal since the head wind was now up to 20 mph.
Anyway to cut a long story short we managed to tune out the moving left on launch ( I was going the wrong way with the adjusters on the back shocks). But we red lit in the first round by .09 (thats a lot) but we did manage to do this. The wind was worse by now (25mph headwind) so sorry for the sound.

Thanks for your interest.

Originally we thought it was around 80ft but after watching the vid, well my crewman paced it out to the green "Roy Wilding" race car sign and that is aprox 120ft from the start. we added on 10ft 'cause we came down after that but not exactly sure so it could be more
