Nice runs Joe! What weight have you got your car down to? Do you have brakes on the car? I's guessing I'm at 3300lbs without the brakes installed... I think I could get 3200 max with the steel block up front..

was 3189 until i added the wheelie bar so its prolly a tad over 3200 with me in it with a mild steel cage...I have strange brakes all around already.. need to find 200 lbs to rip out for thunder but not a whole lot left unless i swap the cage and start replacing body parts and or glass..

A good day like today in Denver is around 7200 DA, and summers are between 8000 and 9000 DA.
