You're a drag racing fool sammy. Living in Elko and racing in Sac and Fontana. I thought I was bad. Those are major trips to take some passes down the strip.

Yeah i guess i am . Being that my home in elko is a place that i live only 2 months a year now (dec and jan ) now that i am working out of the country 10 months a year. One has to get in the fun while one can . It was a great 2 days got in 22 runs best being 11.71 @ 120.18 mph . The new spacers that i tried on the snubbers on each side of the car worked wonders , stopped the squat at launch and on the gear changes. Plus these new nitto drag radials are sweet .The nto5s are to me way better than the mickeys plus seem safer to drive on the road you dont feel like you have drag radials on . The tire pressures where they work are alot higher than what one would think . Best 60 fts came when having them aired to 24lbs .leaving @ 3800rpms achieved a best 60ft of 1.59, with an average of 1.68. The addition of the extentions i found that if i used my old launch rpms 2200 the car bogged so bad that it almost died . I also think that they might help the rear end live longer. Well i can hardly wait till dec so i can try some other little tricks tat a couple of guys at the track shared .

1.59 60 ft is exceptional. I can't get under 2.2. That's .6 on the line and I have run 13 flat. I'd be at 12.4 with a car that only has bolt on stuff. I think after I get the 4:10's installed I'll have to try some Drag Radials. Probably the Nitto's.
