racing at knoll gas MSP

last night, me, straayer, shooter and stalker all went to knoll gas motor sports park (martin, 131, whatever you call it). 10 bucks to race on a wednesday night, so it made total sense to go. i hadn't had a chance to run the top swap fully functional yet (had a wicked vac leak at MGM and was running only 4lbs of boost). track prep was great to start the night off, but they didn't take care of it and traction failed me as the night went on. I had a pretty consistent reaction time throughout the night, typically .5. i don't know what it is about martin, maybe it's a different tree than i'm used to, but at stanton i've hit a near perfect light (.001). Ran consistent 14.0 all night, but i goosed it off the line on my 3rd run of the night and got my personal best.

PB - 13.9@97MPH with a 2.0 60'.

the time is right in line with my mods and what my car is capable of, so i'm pretty maxed out with this setup. i'm unsure if i want to continue just because the car is a daily driver and i can't have it out of commission for a long time for mods or repairs.
