Going Nearly 150mph on an EBAY Turbo!

The author recently spent time at a track, getting to know their super-simple car and testing its capabilities. The author describes their experience as a "same steering" move, implying that the car's handling is straightforward and easy to navigate. They mention that when they reached the end of the track, they lost control of the clutch pedal, which caused the car to shut off.

The author explains that the problem was due to a faulty connection in the battery system. The positive wire going to the starter had come into contact with the clutch line, causing a short circuit that grounded the battery out. This issue seemed minor at first, but it proved to be a significant problem when they tried to restart the car.

The author notes that if they had discovered the problem earlier, they could have avoided losing control of the clutch pedal. They also mention that their gauges came back on after they popped the hood and checked the connection, which suggested that the issue was related to the battery system. However, when they opened the hood again later, they found that the connection was still touching the car's frame.

Despite this setback, the author is optimistic about their car's potential. They mention that it has a dog box now and beefy axles, which suggests that they are making upgrades to improve its performance. The author also expresses gratitude towards Travis Mane's for bringing the dog box, which is one of only three in the country.

The author also reflects on their experience at the track, noting that they were unable to take advantage of it due to the closure. They had hoped to make some more passes and get a few more runs in, but the track closed down prematurely. The author admits that they are disappointed by this outcome, as they were hoping to improve their car's performance.

However, the author is also excited about their car's potential. They mention that it has never been faster than 149 miles per hour before, and that the recent upgrades have made a significant difference. The author notes that they did manage to achieve a 10-second pass at one point, although it was not as fast as they had hoped.

The article also includes some behind-the-scenes information about the author's car and their experience with it. For example, they mention that they used to launch their car in first gear, but have since moved on to using second gear for better results. They also note that they have been experimenting with different brake lines and suspension setups to improve the car's performance.

In addition, the author mentions that they will be taking their car on a road trip to Missy, where they plan to show it off and give it some TLC. The author is looking forward to this trip and hopes that it will give them an opportunity to fine-tune their car and make any necessary adjustments before the next racing season.

Overall, the article provides a behind-the-scenes look at the author's experiences with their car and their time at the track. It includes information about their upgrades, their performance at the track, and their plans for the future.
