Was at Norwalk for ColumbusRacing's fall Track Day 2006. Lavon and I should have sandbagged a bit, because no one would willingly line up after the first pass. It was funny because the starter would walk down the staging lanes and the first cars in the 4 street-class lanes would refuse to race either truck.

I was having trouble with overdrive so I ran a best of 12.07@111 all day long. You can see smoke change color as the nitrous controller re-fires after letting off the go pedal at half-track.

I think it ate another Governor Pressure Solenoid? I'll pull it apart later today and see what happened.

Don't know what caused brandon's silenoid failure but I have replaced mine 3 times in a year and a half - the voltage it set high and I think that is whats burning mine up, I could turn my voltage down but then my manual overdrive switch doesn't work.

Another cause for the problem is they get clutch dust packed into the filter and causes them to fail the last time my silenoid acted up I just took it out and cleaned the filter and it took care of the prob.
