just curious... why did yall hang it out on that pass? The car you ran couldnt get in the 6's for the life of him (the black convertible F-body). I would have thought you could have easily said **** it and hung it all out in the final. I know Mark wanted to break a PB on the last race of the season.... but....

Is it more important to go rounds or to get new PBs? I know the payout is only like 500-700 or so max.... so I guess... wtf! Huh?

After that pass I got on film I assume that you had to have turned it up or loosened it to hang the tires that high? No??????

Congrats again though fellas!

We switched lanes. That is it. The programming stayed the same. The right side was that much better. The pass before that one was the 5.59 pass. We got lane choice since we had a better ET then the other TA. We picked the right lane cause we have not raced in it all night and we new the Mustang in the finals was going to get lane choice. Is that a good enough answer for you?

Hey guys if there are other LSx-powered cars running 275's down there, can you let me know if they hang out here or on other boards? I'm trying to round up info for the 10 quickest LSx cars on 275's.

No problem, I'm interested any cars that have run 5's or low 6's in the 1/8 on 275's. His best pass is I think a 5.5 so I'd like to get his combo info when the car went that quick last year.

I think there were two or 3 guys laying down numbers liek that in that class?

Contact Steve Hopkins I know in the 275 class out midwest there was a few of them going mid 1.2 60s and numbers like that too. Stock casting, single stage setups
