Default First time at the strip

hey guys .. last night was the first time at the 1/4 mile for the EA... and it loved it.. i started off the night with a 16.01 and finished with a personal best of 15.48... i was very happy with the way everything went... the only problem i had was after i turned the car off from doing a run and had a break.. if i went to start it again it took forever to crank and it turned really really slow... but was fine after that....

any way the only other problem was the overflow bottle spat out coolant when i got home... so ill have to check that out

all in all it was a good night

Well done for getting out there and giving it a go mate ;)

You'll find it quite addictive.

that starting problem could be the starter running low on brushes. or could be getting voltage drop on the main power cable for the starter because of the heat
