Default Went to Ennis Friday!

And ran my car on street tires. My first run was the best. The second run I tried launching from 2500 RPM's and they broke loose. It started wheel hoping so I had to let out.

I am on the left and my buddy in his procharged C6 is on the right. His stock clucth did not like the sticky track at all and his pedal stuck to the floor in between shifts.

Wonder if I could break into the 10's on Drag Radials?

Just picking up the 60 FT would put you at low 11's-high 10's.

I hope I can do better with my Nitto's once I take my new 402 to the track. The trap speed shows hope though. With 3.90's in the rear and mn12 gears in the trans it seems like you'd have trapped higher, as in 130 ish ??
