Race - slippery finnish
It became immediately clear on the burnout that the track conditions were good - but not great. I base this judgement on how "sticky" the track feels under foot. On a good track it nearly pulls your shoes off, but not today. Maybe the track was still a bit too cold. This is the point when you realise that the six second pass was beyond reach and settle in to watch Fearless mash the throttle. The huge slicks almost instantly overpowered the track and began to spin to around the 60ft mark and the car became most unsettled. The result was 7.15 @ 192mph and a 1.08 60ft, Not bad considering how poor the car launched. Clearly Nosferatu is showing a lot of potential, and maybe we can sort the launch out before the next run...
