Chris,
it was cool to see you run, you were consisteent as hell (for the first couple of runs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ). i9 was getting 4th gear scratches as well! gotta love bangin' gears <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Hey Wade,

i tried the big tires to see if i could turn them over enough to get me outta the hole, well i spun, lifted the tires waayyy up there (waayyy up there for me anyways <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> ) but i had too much tire and not enuff gear ...etc.
still ran better than last year first day out with bigger tires and a healthier powerplant ( <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> to A.R.E) i look forward to running the car with my 26" et streets, next time on motor. i have some electrical gremlins to figure out, i think i have a bad ground off of the starter, i hate my damp garage! gotta clean up all of my grounds. i am actually energizing the ground that comes off of the head to the pass. side of frame rail when i use the bump start and/or turn the ign to start the car! <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> i think that is why i had my msd take a crap on me! i hope i am ready for next sat. with work out of town it makes it near impossible to get ready! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
are you guys coming down to St.Thomas next weekend for motown event??? hope to see you there
p.s. : will have a "worthy" pic to put up onto your wall <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

You were also running through the full exhaust (Didnt open the cutout)
I think you have easy 11.1's-11.2s with a 26 inch slick and cutout open. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks man! I am looking forward to seeing you out this year! I am DEFINITELY looking at a two step. With the six speed you dont have much time to get organized after you stage LOL!

Chris </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just hook it up on a hand held switch like a trans brake and hold it in your hand while your staging. Then throw it down when you drop the clutch. No worries about anything that way. I would put a light somewhere to tell you that it's activitated. The only thing I've found problematic sometimes is that the clutch switch is very sensitive and you have to make sure you stage with your foot on the pedal correctly.

I meant it is tougher without the two step <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
It'll be great to just mash the throttle at the line <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

chris,

that is an awesome video!!!!!!thanks a bunch, it really shows how high the front end came up! AWESOME! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Chris, next time we meet I would love to run with you with a smaller tire <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
chris could you host the video of my run?

wade,

when i stopped to think about it, with the weight reduction, hals, and of course "motor Work" I picked up half a second from last year when i ran with the 28"er's! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
that is just awesome, next time on motor I will be running the 26"er's or a borrowed set of 27" tires on 15x10 prostars <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" /> either way i think with a smaller tire high tens are doable! i am not one to predict out loud but i do believe i will get there! i was shifting into 4th at about the 1000 foot mark yesterday <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> so i was way out of the power band at that point.

either way i just have to figure out my electrical issue and next saturday should be fun, yes it is t'n't and motown is having their event.

heheh glad you like it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> It is a great run!

Unfortunately I can't host it as my webspace is currently full <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I'll check around and see if I can find someone to host it for you.

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

ps- I'd love to run you when you get the smaller tire on. If we both hook we'll have a great race!!

I better get busy and get a little more weight out of the car <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

The battery relocation is a great mod! I think it really helped in my case <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Chris,

Sounds like you had a great time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Great times for the 1st time out. Ran about what we were thinking that it would run, which is very cool. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Maybe you should try a little bracket racing this year. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

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