Darn it!! we only got into the high 9.7's this weekend with the MGB
I did actually run a 9.4 pass. But that was not the MG. I was running the Slingshot / Digger for a test run and the new ign system works just fine. But boy do we ever need to sort out the front end... We have already stiffened the chassis but the front wheels dont track right and they start to walk at high speed. Its quite a scary ride and it makes you back off little when the front tyres just become a blur as they wobble very fast !! the slo mo vid shows what happens with the front wheels.

On the flip side!! the weekends meeting was fantastic as I had a host of forum friends showing up to meet each other. And my Grand Daughter Faith came to the track on Sunday morning with my Son (who was on fire crew for the day) and my Daughter Vicki who is Faiths mother. Faith kept trying to pull her sun hat off in the pits. But when we put her ear defenders on she absolutely loved them and stopped trying to pull off her bonnet. My Daughter took Faith to the grandstand with a friends wife to watch Grand father race the rail. She was watching intensely as I did a burnout and then clapped her hands as I left the start line. My Daughter told me that she did this with every other car as well
So I think at 9 months old we have another Drag Race fan in the family. Faith is just too cute for words and Grandpa loves her
