yeah it will be there. :D like Raymond said, its in primer for now, and getting a paint job this winter time.
I am wanting some good track prep, and I am kinda tired of running an index class.
wonder if they'll let me run Real Street, seems the car count is a little low:judge:

If I run into any of you T56 guys would you give me some pointers on how to get my car out of the hole? I know it is mainly my tires and before I put good track tires on it I need to get a rear end under it, but good pointers on how to launch on these tires and track tires would be great. Running 13.3 at 115mph on these tires is just imbarrising for a car that makes 600rwhp, LOL. I need help!! I would think with as much power as my D1SC car makes I should at least be able to run mid to low 12's on street tires...what do you think.
My car isn't a dedicated track car just trying to get a street car to run as fast as possible with out a slush box.
Sorry I took this off topic!
Back on topic my track around here sucks so I am reading up on the rules and hope to make some passes. If not then my car will just be in the show and shine.

If I make it it will have a T56 in it and I'll run real street. Last year car went 9.6's but I've changed a lot of stuff over the "Winter".
Currently finishing up the firewall and new hood mounts then need to install the engine and trans. My current problem is time, if a miracle happens and the car gets back together I will have no time to test it and I hate making that long of a drive with an untested car.
Either way I'll be at Indy for the Shootout.

I wish I had your 60ft, what tires and suspension do you use to cut that? Apparently I have a lot to learn about the transmission upgrades because I have no idea what your talking about.
See everyone down there, I have a lot to learn so probably will only be showing and watching. I might enter and race just to get track time though.

BES Stroked nova, is the new car faceplated? I think itd be cool to see a stick car running real street..although I dont think it would be top dog, I think some 8.30s are prob gona be needed to qualify on top. either way its always cool to see people bangin gears out there

Yeah, I honestly dont know what they were running. But I just want to make a point to let these T56's in.
I asked questions, no one answered about the faceplated part, so I am showing up with my shit set on kill. Trying to support a class so maybe one day it can grow, hope they can see that.
I have been 9.71 at 142 on a unprepped track only launching at 5k. we will see what I can do on the .082 jet!:D

I'm ready to see it! I really dont see why a faceplated t56 would be anything for the rules to outlaw, all it does is let more people race, and I don't see a clear advantage that would make it a huge leg up on the competition, just way more fun to watch. We need more than 5 cars in the class anyways!
I would like to build a RS car this winter, but i'm afraid it will get out of hand and into the 7.90s..if it does, they will need to back the class off somehow IMO. But i'm not running, so I say let it all eat before then! I bet if you show up to run RS, you will be in it.

if you read the "either" part. Mine fits the bill cause it has factory MN6 ratio's and all 6 speeds are in it. from what I was told in an email.
they didnt want to see faceplated, MN12 ratio, etc etc..... i guess.
not like anyone should be worried about me, I am a budget kind of guy just trying to have some fun!
