</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Here is my short list of mods.
SLP Lid
K&N Air Filter
Flowmaster Muffler
Flow Tech cut out
DiabloSport Predator
Short belt <<<<<<<<<<<<
H&R 1.25 Springs
BMR LCA Brackets
BMR Adjustable Panhard Rod

The weight reduction I performed didn't help at all that night so I put everything back. The big thing was the short belt, it was good for almost 2 tenths. Also I’m getting constant 1.9x 60ft with my RSA’s I guess the LCA brackets are doing there job. Hopefully there will be some good air Friday and maybe I can get a 12.60 or so.
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">i didn't know that a short belt made that much of a differents. my best time is a 12.80 at 110.70 with out a short belt. it would be nice to see some 12.60s with my mods next time out. is your car a A4 or M6. also those are nice times george. i saw your car at the thunder shootout and that thing is awsome.

Thanks guys... I have at least one more chance to run the car this year, but that's probably it (and I can't run the exhaust open that night). My chances don't look good for a 9 sec pass at this point, but it's no big deal.

I'll be pulling the motor out shortly for inspection and some freshening, but probably won't even make any changes this go around. To be honest, I don't really know if I want to make the car any quicker at this point or not, since I don't really want to install a 10-point cage, window net, get licensed, etc... Who knows, that line of thinking may change soon enough, but for now I'm happy with what I've got.

Congrats George, I saw you at Speedworld on Friday but didn't get to see you run. I doubt you will reach your goal at Speedworld with there half assed track prep. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Congrats George! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I hope you can find a race or two so you canget that magic 9 second time slip before you freshen up the motor. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Iam thinking about going to HRP this weekend to see if I can hit the 10's before Thunder pulls out my motor for a freshen up. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Good luck buddy. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

An open face helmet is perfectly legal, and I could have a smoke while driving down the track. Maybe not a good idea, since I might choke on it on a hard launch! <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
