its amazing what a functioning boost controller does!
We went and tested today at mokan after fighting controller issues for th past couple races. Msd ended up warranting the repairs to my old one and sent me a brand new one. We went a 5.67@132 off the trailer with a 1.46 60 foot, and eventually made it down to a 5.56@133 and an 8.49@168 on our last pass. I have a couple gopro videos I will post as soon as I get them edited, but here is a cell phone video one of my crew guys took.

Congratulations Robert - great to see you made some good progress for sure.
When I saw this on FB last night I was wondering how fun it was getting it stopped when you ran it out the back door? It's running some real good MPH for sure. You don't have a chute on it yet do you?

Re: its amazing what a functioning boost controller does!
Not yet, but it is definitely on the purchase list for next year. It wasn't very fun at all btw. When I ran it to 1000 foot on the pass before, it was at 152, so I thought "that wasn't too bad trying to get stopped". 320 less feet and an additional 16 mph turned out to be a little more serious to try and get stopped.

Re: its amazing what a functioning boost controller does!
I bet it wasn't fun. I screwed up when we were there last time and ran it a little too deep and heard the tires chirping going over the bumps trying to shut down, I can't imagine trying to get it shut down going in THAT far with no chute!
Yeah better put one of those on the Christmas list, or a pair of them if you keep wanting to run it out the back!

They are fun, but if all the supporting components aren't working properly, it will make your life a living hell. Lol

Re: its amazing what a functioning boost controller does!
I got the gopro videos edited on the laptop last night. I transfered them to my phone so I could upload them to YouTube, but the files were too large to upload without WiFi. I will see if I can figure out a way to get them uploaded today.

Re: its amazing what a functioning boost controller does!
Welp, we did it again yesterday. We went a 5.35@135. The car has came a long way in just a couple weeks. We are really excited about next year now. Here is a link to the video, but its a cell phone video, so the quality isn't too great.

Good job Beez. Looks like I'm going to have to put the bottle on for next season.
