What color is your '10 yellowbird? I ask because I went tonight and there was only one '10 there and it was the cool gray color.
And 98TA, how do you plan on going tomorrow night? I was pretty sure it was only open on Wed, Fri,and Sat.

He was running low 13's from what I saw and that sucks about all the electronics getting in the way. Do you know if he knew the owner of the '10 GT500 he kept parking next to?
Oh and good luck 98TA on Sat and post up how you do, if you go!

i went last wednesday and revealed i need a serious driver mod. there was a slight mist all night and it kinda greased the track. my best time was 13.23 @ 94mph. i trapped 121 mph but cut a 15.89 with a 3.6 second 60' though so i know this car has 12 seconds in it. i was running 275/40 GS D3s at 30 psi. now i have some 26x11.50 ET Streets for this saturday so i'm shooting for mid 11s.

Hah, no you wouldn't have. I drove a friend's Seville there and we just spectated. The guy at the gate just assumed that I didn't bring it to run, I'm sure it would have at least competed with the turbo PT cruiser!

He waas running the 98 camaro grey with flames on the front. The SS would get off the line at all. 2.4 60ft all night. The third run the damn t/c was acting up. It came on even though it was showing to be off. Looking into tires for it now, that maybe what was messing with the t/c on the launch.

Sucks about the 60fts, was the IRS causing the hard time or just lack of traction all together? Thats definitely screwy with the T/C, hopefully theres a fix for it.

If you are referring to Dan Neumann, I know he doesn't love Gainesville. But that doesn't mean the track sucks. The Rollins gang has plenty of stock suspension cars on drag radials in the 1.4x 60 foots at Gainesville. I know the sheer # of street tires can make the traction a little less than running a ton of slick tired cars to keep the groove up, but I believe the traction is a little better than you make it out to be.
