Default a couple pics at the track

well track wasn't great at all, out of all my passes hooked once . First pass did a nice little wheelie tires were about a foot in the air then BAM spun and just cruised down the track. Second pass spun as soon as I took off. Had a lot of street tired cars and only a couple of us with good tires LOL On my good pass the camera man snapped a little to early but still had to get the picture just cause I seen daylight under the tires.
Due to an upcoming race we are running no time so thats why I didn't post them. . Now hopefully I can spray (if Greg gets it all hooked up) Saturday.

Not a bad wheelie for all motor and being a heavy pig on a n2o converter..

That was about the worst I've seen that track hooking(Lakeland dragstrip). Thank goodness I have Orlando close by so I have a place I can get traction at.

Traction is indeed a problem after street tired cars have run. Your car looks good and square.

Thanks!
When we first got there there was just a few but by dark the street tire lane was over flowing. Then I got tired of people asking why when I spun I just cruised down the track... uh hello why would I want to take a chance of messing something up for a crappy pass

I already got the boot from BMP when i went on a Runday sunday lol but i will have some bars in it soon. With LMP being so close its hard not to choose the track over BMPbut then agian LMP isnt the same anymore the track sucks on a TNT night and i hate bracket racing so we may just play on the streets untill cooler weather is here to make the 200mile round trip worth it.
