Bobby showed as expected. We met up at a car show in the area and headed to my house waiting for night to come and the temps to fall. We left a little later but traffic was fairly heavy and we weren't able to get any good stoplight runs in for quite a while. Shortly after we left though, the topend of my car finally showed itself in a few races from a 40mph or so roll. From almost every point we would race, bobby would put up to 2 cars on me quickly, and I would slowly reel him in in third and pass reasonably in 4th.
After both of us burned about a half tank of gas, we got a light. We didn't get to sit long before the other side went yellow, so right after we came to a stop we had to get our launch revs dialed in. I have a batter box on my MSD, but i put a Starion FMIC on and the new powerband the car has made launching at my old setting impossible without boiling the tires off. I still roasted the tires when the light changed, and bobby pulled about a car and a half with some bad wheel hop. I hit second and bobby pulled a little more. Soon as I spooled second my catchup was starting. We both sat at those standings threw most of 3rd, and then I started reeling him in. He has to shift early, and when he hit fourth i caught up to his bumper, when I got into 4th I was passing.
With a good launch after i get new tires I will easily be able to shorten the lead he gets off the line, but for now, in the qtr we would be about dead nuts, other than my trap being a bit higher.
On top of bobbys bottom end pull being ungodly fast, he did have the help of some new tires that were much better than his old ones. once he does a few more launches on them i'm sure he'll put more distance on me in the beginning.
So, the colorado title is back in my name. for now.
