OK, Arizona boys, I got some vids from last Friday's test n tune session at Houston Raceway Park. Ratt I has been setting in the garage with new tires since early September while I had to deal with a giant shutdown at the plant where I work.
She was ready to go !
Ratt Fink had a slow right foot on the 3-4 shift on the first pass, and wound up at 10.037. But, we got our stuff together for a 9.89 on the next pass, and then a 9.97 short-shifting pass after being warned to slow down. Here ya go:
10.037 >> YouTube - 10-13-06 Ratt I does 10.037
9.89 >>> YouTube - 10-13-06 Ratt I runs 9.89 @ 138.33 mph !!
9.97 >>> YouTube - 10-13-06 Ratt I goes 9.97 @ 138.56 mph

Actually, I have a pinched nerve, which almost kept me from racing Friday night. But, being a stubborn, tuff, old boot I just had to go racing. On that pass, the ole left leg could not do the trick and was slow on the clutch pedal on the 3-4 shift. Since the right foot stays down, the rpms started zinging up before I got the clutch back out. You can hear it as it finally grabbed... pretty well wasted a possible 9 sec pass right there. Originally Posted by P Machy
