Jeff nonetheless I'm stoked you came out to Ennis the other night. Glad you gave it your best. Now I hope you can get everything dialed in to make that car the true beast we all know it will be once its said and done.
You have to admit that video is pretty funny.
I don't know what was said nor do I care to know. It had nothing to do with cars.
Jeff what is the next step? What does Clint say? I heard him mention at the track you needed better tires. But that's down the line. Is it just a tuning issue at the moment?

From watching I would say a tire issue and a driver issue. The guy has had no seat time in the car, along with no time at the track. A manual car is a lot harder to launch properly than an auto. His tires are not made for what he was doing so traction was an issue all night.

What he said. For the track I need more seat time. I don't understand after I said several times that I would be rusty at the track that everyone was expecting so much. But yes I also need better tires but as far as tuning goes the car runs great. I probably need to change out suspension as far as shocks, struts, disconnect the front sway bar. But I need more and more and more seat time at the track.

I'm not trying to be a dick. But why did the car go into Limp mode on that run?

Watching the video, surely you see that you were just a tad bit over the top with your boasting?

Seat time is key to great ET, as well as vehicle setup. Lots of us have been fast with a stick and would be willing to give advice I'm sure.
MPH is an indication of power....

Don't really know why it did.

MPH does indicate power. My car has dyno over 500 rwhp several times but then no one believes how much my car weighs. I think my mph proves that my car weighs a lot more then what people are saying.

The first run in the dumbass video my car was in limp mode. The second run Clint was driving the car. I love how dale didn't put in the clean passes Clint and I made. They weren't great but nothing like what Dale posted.

Doing a burn out in first gear bouncing of the limiter was probably the cause of that.
