Day 5: Sending the Car Down the Track



They fired up the car for the first time around 3:00 pm today. Very impressive. It's pretty incredible when you can feel the horsepower. Around 6:00 pm, we sent the car down the track on it's first qualifying pass. The first qualifying pass didn't go so well. We spun the tires, which is never a good thing. There was plenty of horsepower but not enough traction. It is quite a feeling, though, when those cars take off. It literally shakes your entire body. Hopefully, we can get it all the way down the track on the next pass.
