Test and Tune Tonight
Well, after several months of non-stop work on the Vega, she is ready to take to the track for some test and tune runs. I am going to LaGrange after I get off work tonight to see what she will do. I am going to take it easy at first and hopefully by the last run, make a full pass. Thanks again for everyones help and advice. Pinks All Out is next week.

Hey guys, went to test lastnight and it was a pretty decent night. This Vega drives so much different than the Nova I had. I still did not get it all the way down the track yet. I was playing around with starting line rpms, air pressure and cleaning my underwear out every run. I kept wanting to snatch the wheel coming off the line and end up going sideways most of the time. I told the track personel that I wanted solo runs so I wouldn't put no one else in danger. I started of with 7psi in the rear tires and ended up staying at 6psi for my last 3 runs. My best pass of the night was the last one. I peddeled like three times and still ran a 6.64 at 101mph letting off about 3/4 down the track. Pretty inpresive I would have to say. I finally have a car that is intimidating. I believe once I get a handle on this thing, I should be down in the low 6's or high 5's. My next time out for testing will be this Friday when I go to Commerce for the Pinks All Out show.
