TRP Sunday 10/29

On a cold tailwinded day, I took the Caddy out for one last trip to TRP with RR airbag installed. The cold air and tailwind were good, but the traction was just OK. I had a best of 14.28 at about 95.5 mph. My other two passes for full 1/4 runs were a .29 and a .34. The end of the track was "seeping" so for the first hour and a half, we ran 1/8 miles, which was not so bad so I could learn to launch my car with the airbag in place.

The 700hp Mustang had some growing pains, but ran a very relaxed 11.0 at 125mph. Too much boost was blowing off some hoses, and a soft intake elbow was sucking closed...etc.

All in all, nobody broke, so it was good.
