This weekend we headed over to the Bend Motorsport park with Matt and his FSTHDT Vl for its first time at the track, over the last little bit we had finished some stuff of to get it ready to race and the time came!!
First pass being purely a sighting pass to see what the car wanted, some very very slight suspension tweaking, we went back out for pass number 2, this time running it to half track and pulling the chutes to make sure that system worked as it should, Matt saying he felt very comfortable in the car,
We decided to send it out the back door on the 3rd ever pass in the car and it went an effortless 7.84@183.
4th pass after the boss on the keyboard gave us some more power, the car reeled off a 7.65@173, obviously down on mph the converter was a bit slippery and had hit a safety at 7.1 into the pass, but managing an effortless 1.23 60ft and 4.95@145 to the 1/8th
Massive thanks to Jeff Johnson for making my job easy on the power management/tune up
Matt for diving the car like he’s done 40 passes in it, even if the spirit fingers likes red buttons, all the rehearsing paid off 🤪
And Matt’s crew all worked well to make the cars performance seem effortless and everyone working together made for a super smooth and successful debut!
The car still being on e85, and not even on 30psi yet, we are looking forward to how this will progress with the methanol tune up and all the boost in it.
