Buddy up the street (4-5 house up) has left no less than 2 burnouts in front of my house over the past 3 months or so Paybacks are a bitch
So as I went around the block he comes out of his garage and we BS a little...when I left, I nailed it just for a split second since I didn't want a big smokey....wouldn't you know it....car hooks.
Guess that's not bad thing.

Chevelle Rob of Dragzine got the best picture that I have seen of the big girl this weekend. Chris Simmons got a nice shot too.:
Here is a Gif excerpt made from Motor Mania TV's excellent race coverage:

The first pass in the Dragzine photo was all in on the hit. It went 5.88 with a 1.29 60'. The pass in the video was 50% on the hit and all in by .8 seconds. It went 1.31 60' and 5.87.
I turned the progressive on to reduce the wheel stand. I guess I needed to go 25%. LOL.

Yes, in the interest of keeping them as straight as I could, I spot wells 8 opposing points. Then make the spots bigger until I'm satisfied enough to bead them all together. I spot weld in a pattern like 8 lugs on a wheel. 12 o clock, then 6. 3 and then 9. You get the idea. All in hope that it tags together and doesn't pull any particular direction. Learned this from some friends a while back that have never had issues. But, in the interest of perfection, I will have a jig for making sure they are straight eventually. I just knew I needed to weld then before the gas goes on. Seen the 8.8 in cars like this bend the tube in the housing.
