[QUOTE]Originally posted by Team SOLO: [QB] Well, after many months of running on motor, we finally put the jug on the car. On the first pass of the day, I staged, hit the transbrake button, floored it...and the car started launching. For some reason, the transbrake did not engage...strange. I just rolled into the jug, got out of it, rolled into it again, got out of it....ran a 9.53 at only 132. Then, came the fun pass. I was worried that the transbrake would not hold again. After an unnecessary full on smokey burnout, I backed up....started rolling to the line and realized I better test the transbrake. Sure enough...did the same thing. I run the shifter through all the gears...same thing...transbrake wont engage. I finally get it to work... I roll up to the line...stage...and launch. The car instantly yanks the tires and hits on the wheelie bars, sending the car to the left. I stayed in it, drove it back to the center of the track...and held on. What felt like 2 seconds later....I was through the finish line hehehe. Came back to the pits to find an 8.85@150 with a 1.31 time slip waiting for me!!!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
