How magazine cars should be driven! 69 SS Had a great weekend at the Year One Experience event this past weekend. My Bro-In-Law (GREGGO) snapped these photos of my car making some passes down Atlanta Dragway.
All I did to have some fun was to fit some 28x10.0x15 drag slicks and runners on the car (fronts required spacers to clear the big brakes). Then I just dialed the QA1 shocks to 2 up front, 7 on driver's rear, and 9 on the passenger's rear.
6500 rpm clutch drops, and this is what happens.
One of the launches, I carried the fronts about a foot in the air, but didn't get a photo of that one. The rest of the photos are here:

pro-touring cars are meant to be DRIVEN
BTW, I only went 11.1s at this event. The track wasn't hooking as hard as my local track. Typically I can cut 1.52-1.54 60' times, but these photos are only 1.60-1.64 short times. We also had a 20 mph head wind all day.

Nice!! Your car is even better looking in person. Nice talking to you in the staging lanes Saturday. Sucks that I never got to actually see it make a pass though.

Coach, I'm still waiting on the slacker previous owner to send me the title for the drag car project. This is getting ridiculous, I'm about to tell him to refund my money!!!
