Default Max hangs the hoops !!!!

I was going through my videos of my last trip to the track and taking some still shots when I noticed light under my driver side tire on a launch <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Here you can see the shiftlight and me on my way up!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
<img src="http://66.162.74.118/temp/sean/light12.jpg" alt=" - " />

And in this one you can see light under my heavy *** chrome 16's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
<img src="http://66.162.74.118/temp/sean/wheelup.jpg" alt=" - " />

This was actually on a 1.71 short time. I wish my camera man had been filming my 1.64, 1.65, and 1.66 60's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I know it isnt much at all but I am totally happy considering I have 100% stock suspension and chrome 16" rims up front.

Congrats.

Did you disconnect the sway bar?

I've pulled a 1.59 60 and a bunch of LOW 1.6's and nothing. Not one flicker of daylight.

Dude, I thought you had LCA's and SFC's.

Was I mistaken?

oops!! I do have LCA's forgot about those <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> sorry about that. I do have BMR subframes but I would have to say those fall under the "chassis" category. I also have a BMR torque arm (forgot about that one also) I have had my sway bar disconnected for the past few months too.

Sorry to everyone for the misunderstanding about my suspension mods. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I guess SFC's are chassis. The T/A counts as suspension too, right?

I would consider the TA being a suspension component. I just lost track of my mods in all my excitement haha <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
