I do live in Cedar Rapids. I dont race at Cedar Falls. Never have ran my car there, not once. Usually run at Tristate. So doubt we have met.

Off the line - yes - but that is why I used the 2-step and transbrake to control the nitrous off the line. Going down the track - no. Was on a 12-bolt with 4:30 gears. Last weekend of my bumper drag, was running out of gear at the 1000' but still ran 10.1's all day (9 rounds). We were just going to change out to 3:73's but last run of the day the track got very good off the line and straight up. Oh well, that started the turbo build.

(Since we didn't get the SS to the track this year, we are doing a couple things a little different.
