Default Goodguys 16th Southwest Nationals, Scottsdale AZ

the weekend started great, Friday morning I ran the warmup and the car felt great, a ton of RPM and smooth on the course, with 2 runs before lunch and two runs after lunch, we qualified top ten (in forth actually)



Saturday morning and the top ten get two runs to get in the finals! for the last four spots.....my first run is a DNF I didn't come to a complete stop after the run in the stop box....only one more chance to get in so I really push it on the cold track at 9am and I run a 70.153, good enough to get into the shot out but I have a one cone penalty making my time a 71.1XX, pretty good and after everyone else runs theres one car left Jimi Days AMX, and after a good run Jimi runs a 70.5XX clean! no cones so I was out of the last spot and Jimi was in



Jane and I were done for the day it was a good battle, and next time,I will be in the mix, here's a Jane in the sunset pic from AZ!

I have been very happy with all the changes, the first day on the track I was nervous at Scottsdale, and the guys over at MSD actually came to the car and hooked up Janey on there lap-top to clean up or make sure the ignition programs was working great, they moved the grounds and tested the outputs, and shes a happy Jane now, the suspension is very good I am trying to squeeze more out of her so even now (Monday) I'm heading to Crosbys shop to change a few more things!, and with the carbon panels added to her, I weighed her at the Ridetech booth and shes just over 3200lbs, not bad for a rain or shine daily driven girl with radio, heater and dynamat on floor, doors and roof grocery getter

Can you get a copy of before and after alignment and corner weight readings please? Cros wouldn't have access to a chassis dyno would he?
