Nice runs <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

What shocks are you running to adjust travel on the fly?

Mikey, it amazes me that some people (Joe) that can't match your accomplishments (Joe) will even question your times (Joe), especially when lots of fellow (Joe) LS1 owners are there to see it AND videotape (Joe) it. I won't mention names (Joe) here, but it's pretty (Joe) pathetic.

Congrats to your new best, Mike, and congrats to ARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have front suspension travel limiters that I can adjust quickly to allow more or less travel depending on the amount of weight transfer needed.

Glad to see you are getting your ride dialed in Mikey. Your going to be hell to compete with at these shootouts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Good Luck Mikey <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I have not been able to watch the video (dialup connection) but I have to ask, does the car wheelie? After watching Georges car on many low 1.30 60fts. George had a 1.35 with the back tires the other night and I can say this for sure because I was standing almost at the 60ft box on the outside of the track. The the car is landing just before the 60ft box from the wheelie, the front spoiler could be coming down low enough to trip the beams possibly? This would explain why the car still ETs nearly the same, different parts of the car tripping the beams. Just some thoughts from me, we had a similar situation with another customers car and didnt realize it until we watched the video.

Joe thinks you are running nitrous Mikey ... besides you pissed him off with the W tire issue and now he is holding a grudge against you. I guess that puts you about 30th on his list, but he does carry another list of "those that do no wrong" but it only has one name on it.

Congrats anyway, you and the BeaSSt are running neck and neck all motor.

There would be massive carnage if he ran nitrous with that CR.It wouldnt last long...

Mikey, you don't have to participate in Joe's game here. You ran a new best ET and backed it up three more times. How many others can claim that?

There are so many variables with cars, no telling why you didn't run quicker with a 1.29 60' on that pass. We could also ask how come this car ran slower 9.80s too, right? Big deal!

Nice runs Mikey. You have a dirty bracket racer there Man!

FWIW, I went to a race a few years back and my 94 ran a 9.12, 9.12,9.12, 9.11 all in one day! Different 60's, different fuel pressure, etc. It just happens !!

Anyways, see you in a couple of days at Indy Mikey. Later!
