A good thing to do at the track is trying to line up behind a fast car and watch his run while you line up your burnout.You can see the back of the car kick out if the track is slick.That has saved me a few times.Atleast your ready to steer at the top end if you need too

Sometimes, there's just no "bringing a car back" if it's a wet area (on the track). I would love to know some #'s on the amount of cars that have smacked the barriers or even flipped at both LVD and NED over the last 4-5 yrs. from wet surfaces (oil drop from another car, or water seepage, or just cold asphalt in the spring and fall of the year.) Cold asphalt scares me even more than water on the strip...especially w/slicks and skinnies. Respect and making sure you really know your ride are "key" here, like was already said... WJ

nice ride.
i almost lost it a couple times, my first pass this past season the car left a little left, and i stayed in it, but thats just because....... well, im not sure why, i think it was because i was very happy with the lanch, and knew it would be a good run. hehe
i almost lost b-mans car one night also, last trip to the track, his first pass, 1/8 mile the car walked, he let out, so i drove, i hit the 1/8 and the car walked, i let out just to shut the spray off, got back in it, it walked some more, so i rode it out, and went 10.4!!!! oh boy B-mans car is going 9's this spring!!

I'll make sure to take it easy. I cant wait until march 19th... Warren, im not sure whos buying the car, but one person that is interested is a car collecter who wants to put it away, for a long time. I think when i race it for the first time at atco, im only going to keep it at like half- 3/4 throttle the whole way down. Your right warren, 2 seconds is a big jump.
Still no name suggestions!
