Default 09 Race season underway

well thompson raseway here in ohio opeaned up saturday.it felt so good to be back on the track .Iwas real happy with the car my first pass was my fast time of the day for me .I ran 13.6 101 60ft was 1.79.The track was cold and getting hooked up was a little hard but all in all I had a blast. There was not very many cars so you could run as much as you could stand pass after pass no waiting around.Iam running a 94gt with 373s cold air short throw under drives and off road ex.

Car looks like it runs good......

Anytime you lay down sub 2.0 60' times......

based on the 1.79 60' the car has a lot more in it.....

Keep us posted.....

thats my problem i am leaving at 4500 rpm with 11inch slick tires.I almost always lay down 1.75 to 1.86 60ft I just need to get tha seed up on the big end.I got the car off of a girl in new york.she put 4in hood cobra front in and rear bumper 17in cobra r wheels .but all she could tell me about other up grades was that her boy friend had work done on it at a seed shop in rochester ny so i dont know where to go whith my add ons it looks stock as far as h/i/cam.

is that true 11" tire or a 10.5w....

well based on the 60' the car has high 12's potential......

that big tire is scrubbing some of you top end

even at 13.6 its got something done now it just a matter of figuring out what it is.....


how tall is the tire & where are you shifting....

I took another look at the size of the tires they are 27x10.00x15 goodyear race eagles i run 16lbs in them. I get them for free off my budy that runs nascar they work well they dont bog my motor like atrue slick would but yet they hook up pretty well.what do you think I should put my money in h/cam/i or work on stock suspension up grade.

Iam shifting at 6000 and iam in 4th when i cross the line.

I am firm believer in get the car to hook....

based on your numbers the car has power (based on 60") I'd work on the suspension......

I'd play with the launch & shift points....
