Default Same old tune....

Kind of looking for some low 12.20's on Sat.,9-24 from my old stocker A4 car at NED. Same exact setup I ran last season, including the same Slowhawk tune. Hal shocks have been the only addition, along w/a fresh pr. of 15" MT ET Street Radials. I still think he'd be better off running the 8.5" ET Drags. Cool day expected. This 16&1/2 yr. old has been doing a real nice job driving. He's posted 12.30's in 80 degree weather this past summer--my low 12.30's always came only in 60 and below temps. Good luck tomorrow, Justin... WJ

The kid went all the way to the finals of the CMDR race at NED yesterday. He won 5 rounds, w/a 12.052, 112 mph and 1.59 sixty best. 12 .1's and 12.0's all day. 3460 raceweight. Stock motor w/c.i. manifolds, ASP pulley, LG Motorsports Y w/cutout, Vig. 3200 and 3.23's w/26x15 ET Street Radials, Hals all around, and Slowhawk tune.....New best for the car. (previous best 12.32's @ 110 w/1.67 sixties.) Had to be the best air of the whole race season.... WJ

If the air is good, hoping for some high 11's out of this setup at NED this wknd...keeping fingers crossed that the "built" 10 bolt will continue to hold 1.5 sixties w/2500 footbrake leave.... 3460 raceweight stocker w/Don Kinder Edit work. Go, Justin... WJ

Well, the air on Sun., 10-2 was not as good as last wknd. However, Justin went consistent 12.0's and 3 rounds before putting on the red bulb at round 4. 12.03 @ 111 best w/1.5 sixties again...That 3.23 10 bolt is hanging in there. Hoping he'll get that 11.99 at NED before putting the car away for the season. A trip to Atco would probably net some 11.7 runs... WJ
