nice time for conditions Tom.

The drs unload like that for some reason on some cars. KP had better luck with slicks so I am going to sell my brand new 325/50/15s and just go with 28x10.5s since i go on tnt nights with no prep.

seems you are getting to make some passes regularly now...I KNOW you love that!!!!!!

hey do you have a spool? looks like the left tire was spinning as soon as you left and then the right eventually spun. My tracloc doesnt always spin both tires in the burnout and its new

Right, my first impression as well...

but the car spun and 'spat-track' all over the place.

What made it real bad was my buddy with the TT Vette in the left lane...he dropped the clutch, hit the limiter,spun/bounced and split the rear end...you can watch him coast for a few feet in the vid.

My same set-up went 9.6 at 141 in much worse air couple of Fridays ago....shame to drop 400ft in da and go slower. One run and helped him get home. He's going to be down for a while.

It will get there Tom, one day you really need to go to a decent track. I love Bristol and all but running there on street fight nights is very similar to beating yourself in the head with a hammer. If feels a lot better when you are done then when you are doing it

Sixty was 1.5s but it spun past the 60.

Vette blew off ET Streets...listen hard to the vid and it sounds like he was on ice...bang/bounce/boom....expensive break for him.

Slicks > 325's

Its such a nice track it pisses me off that they dont have a regular T&T for real tires. Its a great hooking track on Saturdays but I dont think they even bother prepping it on rice nights.
