We were on our way home and thought it would be fun to drop in on the Goodguys Colorado Nationals since it was only 1 hour off interstate 80 and they were running Friday. We went to a friend of Scott's house and pulled the caliper and rotor then repaired the failed steering arm bolt. We added fuel, changed mufflers and reflashed the computer for 5000 feet all on Thursday night. Friday morning Scott laid down a time that was 1.2 seconds faster than the second place car on a 38 second course. About noon the course got hot and was loosing grip so we left for home because Scott had to be at work in San Jose Monday. The best time to run at Goodguys is usually mid morning on the second or third day with lots of rubber down. We could not go for the win because you have to be in attendance on Sunday to win. We did chaeck with friends and as of Saturday night we still had fast time. This has been a very good month for us and the car. We plan on some fine tuning of springs and shocks at the test course on the 26th and 27th because higher speed steady state is not quite up to the rest of our handling. The next big event is the Scottsdale Shootout November 20 -22.
