Made a couple passes last night

Wasn't really intending on racing the ATS. My intentions last night were to support a good friend's drag bike, until one of his childhood (non-racing) buddies thought he could ride the ZX-14 into the trailer. He didn't realize that there isn't much clearance between the nitrous bottle mounted through the swing arm, and the lip of the trailer. I bet you can see where this is going... He ran the bottle into the trailer lip at around 5mph. That knocked the valve off the bottle, and tore up the nitrous lines. So that was the end of racing that bike for the evening. We made some efforts toward getting his other bike quicker. 2015 Kawi H2. Ended up with a 9.30@justunder160.

So, about a half hour before the track closed, I figured why not see what this Caddy can do? Built some boost on the line, and let 'er rip. Ended up 14.10@96 with a 1.91 60' barking the rear tires pretty hard.

Tried to squeeze another pass in before closing, but this time we sprayed the intercooler down with nitrous immediately before the pass. That netted a 14.20@95 with a 1.96 60'. We figured we could cool the i/c down some, but it wasn't very effective. I'll do some testing at home with that before I try it at the track again.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to get this stock car into the 13's? I'm going to take everything not bolted down out of it, and maybe a few things that are bolted down!
