Way to go Larry. Larry's car is bolt on with Nittos.Think he's running 3.73 gears with M6. Great guy and great driver. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Has anyone else run this quick with a bolt on M6 and Nittos? If Larry had a 12 bolt w/4.10's, tires, and some more weight out of his car some folks at or near the top of the M6 bolt on list would probably be moving back a space or two. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Real nice to meet ya Larry - and that was an AWESOME run! The fact that it was on Nitto's (an M6 going 1.70 on Nitto's!) only makes it sweeter. Way to go!

Thanks alot everybody. I have 3.73's in a 10 bolt with nittos. just bolt on parts. my car weighed 3335 with a 1/2 tank of gas. the track really hooked on my first run but then went away after that. I think the weather was like + 300 DA.
01-Z, good luck with the trans, and congrats on the new baby. Im going to try and catch you, but I dont think i can do it unless i get more traction.
promod1955, I have a black Z28 hardtop with prostars on it. my Z28 embelms are painted silver. I lost first round in ST/a, there was a o2 ss black behind me in the tech line. that wasnt you was it? there sure were alot of cars there. i met some guy named hwyripper. but other then that just bob and a few local boys came up and chatted. I left right after i lost. I had to pick a friend up from work. A bunch of us are going on nov. 1st to VMP you should try to come up there then. it would be nice to meet you. thanks alot everybody. and thanks to 01-Z for helping me out and taking his time to talk with me.
