Nice John. Sure the conditions in Fla. are great for eveything but racing. How hot and humid was it? What do you think the Cecil mod would be worth in good weather in street trim. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Good luck Saturday. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Believe it or not.. traction wasn't real good last night..(it rained till and hour before) If I tried a full "on converter" launch, it would blow the tires off. I got the best runs rolling out near the 60ft mark, then matting it.

If your not use to a high stall, it will take a week or two for you to get use to it.

awesome John! I've been wanting to take my car out on Nittos as well, but I need to wait until I can get to a good track that will attempt to hook for me. TX Motorplex is a joke on DR's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I'll have to try it out the next time I head out to HRP.
