Default ** New Personal Best 1/8 & 1/4 **

Hit Rockingham Dragway in some good weather and great track prep ! Thanks to @98LS1auto for putting me in the radial prep lane. I only made two passes and this was my best. my car # is 300. Also like to thank @zzracer & @JonCR96Z for answering all my dumb questions or helping me on my car.

I am happy with her performance at this dance.

I had my Viking double adjustable Shocks set to full tight on rebound in the front and it still pulled the front tires so I either need to upgrade or get some travel limiters next.

3580? Hell I'm 3685. No wonder you were going .2 quicker. It was a good day for both of us. Hate my buddies tore up. But still a good day. Weather doesn't get any better really. And they had it prepped good.

Great running cars.
I'm jealous though...My slug is 4160# with me in it...
My best EVER (transbraked) 60 foot is only a 1.37, lol, but I'm going 25 or so more mph through the traps...just can't get it to launch.

Congrats, to both of you.

Do I hear the converter locking up in the 2nd video?
