Default Atco today?

Where were all you F body guys?

There were a number of Vettes, GTOs and some mustangs, but I didnt see one Camaro/Firebird.

Lots of fun. I had 7 passes before lunch.

And a new PB of 12.721 @ 110

I was changing my front calipers and trying to figure out how to mount my skinnies. How was the track?

Track could have been better, but I dont have much experience so i might not know what I'm talking about.
All I know is I was spinning my tires even when shifting into second and third. I was running 16 psi though, so that might have something to do with it.
If I'd been able to stay all day, I would have tried 14psi and who knows how that would have worked out.

Some of the big power cars there were pretty squirly on launch.

Be careful going that low even with dr's, not that I'm an tire pressure expert. I run mine at 18psi, sometimes traction gets worse the lower you go. But yea I made to burn the crap out of my dr's to get any traction 2 weeks ago.

I have a question, if you line up with Rob (driving Evette) and beat him with his own skinnies on your car, does it still count?
