I took the van out to a local 1/8 mile track for some test and tune passes tonight. I made about half a dozen passes that were all pretty close to the same. We did some work to the suspension, fixed a problem we had with one of the nitrous relays, and did some work on the tune to make it launch better. All the changes seem to be helping. There are still a couple of small things we need to work out, but it is doing well for only the second trip to the track, I think. We're definitely getting it down to be competitive in the 11.90 class. Here's the best time from the night and what it ran on the one fuel only pass I made.

Josh, any plans to fix the left front fender or you going to keep the rat rod look?:D
I have the rest of the fender, I just need to weld it back together. It just hasn't been real high on the priority list.

I think you should leave it. I also think you should grow a mullet, wear a sweat band and smoke cigarettes out of the corner of your mouth while you drive it.
