Default Not as easy as it looks

Plums, thanks for the tips, it was a bit embarasing when the starting offical came over and said to move up a bit untill the white lights come on.


We could push the car harder but we did not want to push our luck, an 11.7 would be fantastic, I hope just to get an 11.

After the cage is installed I think we can get a 10 second pass out of the car, remove the speakers. low fuel load, perfected launch technique and diff ratio change.

We currently go thru the finish just shifting into 4th.

I think the Wednesday night street drags are not as uptight as other events, and we were the only open top car. I am sure if the right or wrong offical was there it may have been a different story.

Drag racing is a lot of fun, it is relatively safe, you get to see all the action by sitting in one position, the sounds and smells really get things pumping.

We have 3 kids, 16, 14, 12 they wcame along and had a great time as well.

I am planning on rebuilding the engine in 12 months from over use.

Getting back to the thread, I picked up some 17 x 9 rims from a skyline pretty cheap so we are on for Wednesday night.
