Default Racing at St Thomas this saturday

I HOPE the damn timing lights work LOL!

Here are the changes for this Saturday <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

7000 rpm redline (instead of 6200 LOL)

6500 shift point instead of 5700

Hit all three gears!!

26 inch ET streets instead of my 28 inch ET drags (I will try and bring both)

Hoping 11.50's@119-120mph or better are possible. I am going to cook these tires and pray they hook <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Might start with a soft launch and test the traction for the first pass and then stall it up as the day goes on.
I will keep everyone posted with the results <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Cheers,
Chris

The weather looks like it's still going to be cold, so if the rains hold off, you should have good air for your racing! I'm sorry to hear you won't make it out on the 25th though, there should be at least 50 f-bodies there for the first TFM drag day. I plan on bringing home the cash in the bracket racing! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I'd run my *** off for the first run. I'd run the ET Streets at 15-17psi cold.

I'd slap on the 28's if you can't hook on the 26's.

I was going to try 12psi cold (15psi hot) in the ET streets for the first run and FRY them. Think it will hook?
Cheers,
Chris
