first day testing the car went a little scary. The Rx3 would not run straight down the quarter mile. on every single run my kid had to lift off the gas pedal halfway down the track. Suspension needed to be adjusted all over.
on the second day.. yesterday I made some phone calls and got some technical tips on suspension adjustment, I did some adjustment and went for a cautious run. The Rx3 went straight and ran 11.22@122mph on what I consider a cruising run. for the second test run I told my kid to go for the gold and put the engine on the rev limiter. she did but the car broke traction and we lost the run. the was the last run of the day.. track was loaded with cars.. I have found pics of the car online.. I'll have someone post them up.. so far so good. the car is being tested all motor no nitrous until I feel the car is running straight enough to apply the nitrous..

122 on the motor? Pretty nice. I wish I had that kind of power. I saw the pics, looks really good! I happy for you, you have been working on this for such a long time.

Yes josh 122mph all motor. car will run 125 to 127 all motor. yes I'm happy took a long time.. theres a pic of a big smile on my face in the back ground..
Yeah that smile on your face on page 10 tells everything. It's all worth it at the end. Now throw the NOS on it and see what that car can really do. Congrats and continued success. Can't wait to get my car done and have that Koolaid smile on my face. By the way how old is your daughter that drives the car? My wife hates the idea of me letting my daughter drive my car. But she is only a year old right now and has a couple of years to go before she gets into the seat. I'm getting old and fat it's getting hard to get into a car with a full cage. Need to get someone who is younger and weighs less than me. I"m always trying to cut weight out of my little Datsun 1200 looks like next thing is to cut me out of it. LOL. Congratulations again.
