Cool Video from Rockingham yesterday

This is a couple of runs I made. A rod started knocking the second pass.

You guys get to drag race all year! NO FAIR!

Looks real good, what are you using to turn 11.45 et's?

Thats too bad about the knock, time for more cubes! Was the lower end stock?

So...what did you think of that Black C6 vette that was there running mid 11's on street tires?

BTW,is it just me or was the track pretty slick past about 30ft out?

Good runs,man, wish we could've hooked up, but the whole "slicks in lanes XX" "street tires in lanes XX" kept us from running together. There was some GTOs I wanted to run too, but same deal.

They only prepped about 20-30 foot of the 60ft area yesterday. My tires hooked great at the light, but spun like crazy until 2nd gear kicked in. Last time I was there they prepped the whole first 1/8th.

Good passes, IH8FORD.

The times are not really all that great. That is a 383 in there. I am going to pump things up a little bit . I am sure the rod getting ready to let go had some effect on the power . This is going to be my wifes car . I have a 99 SS coming together now with a l92 headed 408 . It will be finished in about a month or so . What happend to your TA Me and Jon remeberd you from piedmont .
