Spinning into the 12's
I ran 275/50 15's, 255/60- 16's but no 17's or 18s. I think it might be partially bad track prep. Some nights are good and some are bad. If u can avoid using far lane, try to get one closest to staging lanes that one ALWAYS gave me better 60's. That old 87 had those 275's and a 3000 stall and 3.42's and that pulled high 1.8's low 1.9's all day long. Just have to heat them up even more.

The next time I race I think I might sit there a little longer doing my burnout. It's not like I quick spin them and pull up to the line, but maybe a little longer won't hurt.

I was talking with a guy that races, and decided I'm probably going to go with a Strange 12 bolt with 4.30gears, 15" wheels and do my suspension. He said I have enough motor for now with my trap speed at 117.97mph.
Im gonna keep my 10 bolt for now and put 4.30's in it and weld the tubes and do it up a little till i find a used 12 bolt or something. I was thinking of skinnys and stuff for mine but i dont know yet.

I'm thinking about going to Maple Grove one more time this year before I park the car. My rear is starting to make too much noise and I can't stand it. I'm thinking of going the 30th of this month. Not 100% sure yet.

Thanks, but I'm hoping too be out of the 12's soon. After this winter I'm hoping to have a new rear , and suspension done to get my 60' down to where they need to be.

Problem is trying to figure out what brand of suspension I want to go with and also what rear. I'm currently leaning towards a Strange 12 bolt. Sometimes I wouldn't mind getting a 9'' though.
9" all the way 
I think i smoked my clutch lol. Didnt last long at all. I was hoping to go up there on the 30th but i cant now. I hope to do a few bolts on over winter and run some mid 11's next season. Better look out or youll be
