Larry How did it hook up after you dropped the tire pressure?? Next time maybe your dad will run the Vette. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Alot mor street tire cars were running. My last run, I had 4 imports , and an avalanche ahead of me, and the imports of coarse drive straight through the water traps <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I hope to make it out again VERY soon... another new best would ROCK <img src="http://xs-fx.com/pain/images/dude.gif" alt=" - " /> !!

Its seems to be stalling 4000-4300 on the brake on sunday. It damn sure doesn't give up much on the top end...cause I made the traps with the 28" tires all day long. Not by much, but I make it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .

Larry, we need to start racing on Saturdays at HRP. That is their big bracket racing day, and its about 90% trailer cars on slicks. They prep the track very well and show the times. Gates open at 1pm for us (Jr Dragsters in morning) and brackets don't start until 4pm. Yes, its hot, but the track hooks and daytime racing is excellent for photos.

And no darn street tire cars ruining the track! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Also, when you win the brackets, you win $$$
