Run Notes: 1) Great hook, 2) Another great hook-jetted down to compensate for heat-time for nitrous, 3) Spun bad-felt lean on pass, 4) Spun bad, but ran clean with water/methanol injection. Track felt great at first, but got slippery as we went on. Ran out of time to get in a softer launch attempt.
