To everyone saying it’s to much for EJ! Think of who made the decision to put her in the car, you think he made that decision lightly? You think he doesn’t know EJ’s demeanor and potential? I have every bit of confidence that with the support she has the many years of experience teaching her and the determination she has that she will get it running decent times very quickly! The fact that she stays calm and already knows when to pedal and can control that unrefined and untested car the way she did speaks volumes of her potential! Everyone starts somewhere! She started with around 350/400 wheel horsepower and now is in 880 wheel horsepower that is tuned way down! Probably only using 500 horsepower at the moment!

Need to take out timing on the launch, or a higher stall converter, start in second gear, chassis adjustments. You guys are saying not enough experience but this is how you get it. This is a fresh car and it needs to get some adjustments made to stop the wheelie. George had the same problem with this Blazer, time after time after time, and he had a lot of experience. One other thing that I think I noticed is the seat position in relation to the gas pedal. Looks to me like the seat needs to be moved an inch or two forward to have better control over the gas pedal. Look like you were having to "reach" for it a little bit. I'm not going to blame EJ as much as it's a new car and they need to make suspension adjustments, shocked adjustments, timing and other adjustments to pull some power out on the launch. EJ, great video. Obviously you're having fun. 👍

Having to reach for the wheel and pedals is neither comfortable or good and (way more important) the shoulder restraints are "dangerously low" behind her back (high probability of collar bones and or back injury if the car rolls or crashes hard). And making that worse, the lap belt is too high (not holding her "down")...
