I am pretty sure it went straight. I need to go back and watch the videos. I do have the BMR drag bar on the car. Has the adjustable endlinks that you weld the big brakets to the frame for.
Still not sure why just squaring the rear would make it hard to get to hook again. Oh well I will have front drag shocks and springs next week. I am still running stock fronts right now.
I am gonna try and get the shocks in and make some adjustment before Next Wednesday and see what it will do. Just all the break downs and then watching an AWD car loose control (and he wasn't going that fast) on the top end just made me nervous.

The STi that tagged the wall wasn't white, was it?

I saw other guys sticking big power cars plus MikeP wasn't having near as much trouble as me. tires were fresh the this spring. I would say that they probably have 40 passes on them. I know I need to step up to a 28" soon one of the passes I hit my shift light in 4th as i went through the traps at 135mph

Hi Dan,
After all your problems this season i'm happy the car is starting to really come around.
Being from the old school of racing myself,I know what your up against.
Would you go this far again with the same type car or try something else.Such as a econo dragster.Well it use to be econo till some quy spent 100 grand for one.
take care
good luck

I wouldn't really do much different. Other than waste money on some things I did then changed later. I love this car it is a blast to drive. It still get some street time. incuding driving it to Ocean city this past spring and will probably go again this coming year. Dragsters aren't really my thing anyways.
