We run staggered tree up here. And street class ends at 12.0. Plus, most "12 sec street cars" up here are gutted, tubbed, lexaned trailer queens that never see street use, but they have a license plate on them.

Yeah, I know, I have to ease the car off the line and get it rolling a little before I actually launch it or I get some initial wheelspin. Once I'm moving a little, the car hooks good. I was told I could fix this by adjusting the pinion angle, but I have no idea what I'm doing in the suspension department.

I was also told to ditch the Nittos and get et streets, this is on my list of future mods, I would just like to get my money out of the Nittos first.

I actually did make some money with it last year. I took first place in bracket 3 at the World's Fastest Streetcar shootout at US131 Motorsports Park. What a weekend, there were timetrials Friday night, 3 time trials Saturday night and 2 timetrials Sunday morning before eliminations. Then I went all the way, I must have had 25 runs that weekend. I won $200.00 and wore out a $500.00 clutch in the process. It gave out the following weekend

Hardly seemed worth it, but I did get my picture taken, an interview and a plaque.
