Damn, everyone running 6s and 7s and I'm over here still in the 8s :( I got my reaction and consistency now I just have to start bolting up what I have to get into the 7s. Last time I went I kept racing the same people because everyone was buddying up. I'll race this Thursday and maybe I'll bump into a few of you guys. I'd like to run TY haha

whats your trap mph? Wish I could fit big tire, no 15's without going to GT brakes, l like my canyon runs too much. What rear gear, and what size are those rear Mickeys?

Trapped 101mph. I just rebuilt my rear, upgraded my Eaton with an 800lb spring set and dropped down to 3.73's. Running the MT ET Street Pro's.

Although I usually oblige anyone's request to race me, my car isn't where I want it. Not including my cars performance, because I've still raced even though my car is down on power, but my shifter and clutch feel . This is my daily driver so I'm taking it easy for awhile. After I fix these problems I'm down for whatever kind of race you want.

It's too bad your car wasn't on par when we first met in person.

Sounds good, Ty. Maybe at the next meet! And yeah, the damn rear kept breaking but it's all good now.

Anyone running this Thursday? Just finished the last of my upgrades and want to get some more shakedown passes in with the new transbrake.

Got some good runs in last night after it cooled off a bit. Was really hot the first couple runs and the track was really loose. It tightened up after the sun went down. My best runs of the night. Car is 2384. Was a lot of 5.0 Coyotes there last nigh. I ran a white one, not sure who it was. The center slip was me and the white 5.0

got there early and got 5 runs in last night. my new rxt clutch might be grabbing a bit TOO well lol, I was spinning a lot, and usually at the dale I never spin because it has usually has good prep. had better et's and mph at famoso with the stock clutch, so I guess I have to re-learn how to launch with this car. also I think a line lock would help me, I do terrible burnouts. hot lapped each run, only about 10 minutes average between runs. hoosier 275/40/17 drag radials and driven to/from the track.

Some consistent runs right there. Nice job!! A little more work on your 60's. Warm your drag radials up more.

I have never been to a drag strip before. I've had my cobra for 3 years now and I plan on going this Thursday just to watch.
