Well, I went to the track tonight....and it was good and bad. (Bud Park 2200ftASL) I was SOO pumped to try and run 1000 psi in my bottle with the new bottle heater. I figured with 1000 psi, I'd take 2 tenths or so off putting me at 14.5 ish. My previous best run was done with only 850 PSI in the bottle and I wound up with a 14.79.
Well, turns out the shop I had install it for me, didn't do it right, because the bottle heater didn't work at all! :mad: And even worse because it was only 9 degrees celcius out my bottle was sitting at 650 PSI, and there was nothing I could do to get it back up. BUT, because there was absolutly no humidity in the air + the really cool air = my best run ever: a 14.593 @ 96.86 with a 2.408 60'.
It was my worst 60 of the night, I spun off the line, and then spun a little when I shifted into second. None the less, I am SOOO pumped! :woot2:
I'm going to try and get the bottle heater fixed this week and go for the last run of the season, and try for a very low 14. Amazing night! Man I love the cool autumn air!!
