Dusty ran 11.4 at our track quite a few times.
Bill wasn't there a car a couple of times ago that went into the High 10's a few times without a roll cage?

I plan on running low boost for a few runs and than just practice high boost launches and than right before we leave go ***** out and when Tech says anything I will just say OOPS and play dumb

I wouldn't worry about it for now either, nobody pays any attention to the trucks anyhow

Actually the first time out they won't hassle you to much. Just tell them you don't know what it will do, but you're going to start at low boost and progress upwards from there once everything is safe with the launch/AF ratio, etc. They will respect the fact that you are going about it the right way that's safer for everyone at the track.

If they tell you to park it after your last run, you've done something right... and being kicked out for going to fast is a badge of honor, so tell them "thank you" when you're told you can't make any more runs!

6 boost settings why would you need that many! unless some are for pump gas and others for race gas!
