i hate ned
OK so you CAN swap a solid axle into those Vettes? Sorry just have me a little confused over here. I know IRS's can't take much abuse especially once wheel hop is involved, that's why I made the comment in the first place. 99+ Cobras in my area usually get the solid rear swapped a.s.a.p. if they are going to be doing any kind of serious drag racing.
Just be happy you don't have to race out here in Albuquerque. The damn wind blows sand all over the track. Even if the track owner had heard of VHT, which he hasn't, the sand would probably just stick to the track better. Add in the 8000+ sometimes 9000 foot DA's and you got the crappiest track in the world.
Honestly, it's that bad. It's like trying to sprint across a hockey rink after being kicked in the nuts.
I can't wait to get home and race at Ned. At least NED has bathrooms.

Skating after being kicked in the nuts would be like Bandamere in Denver. At least you have traction there.

Won't really know till Wed. or so when I pull the rear No picnic to service, either...I'll bet. W/more and more late model Vette's coming on the 1/4 mile scene, you can bet Strange or someone else will start making some bullet-proof parts for the back half's of these cars, no? WJ

jeff hasnt broken his half shaft yet, his is still sotkc, he's got et streets on the back and runs consistent 9.70- 9.80's. my father says what usually breaks is the output shaft in the rear end, which he has replaced in jeff's vette, with a stronger one.

the half shafts will go 9's with spinning, but not for long. lol
WJ, i totaly disagree about Joe, he is a tight wad with a bad attitude and NED is the poorest run track i have ever been to.
the owner/s should fire just about everymisrable ***** and bitch that works there, and get some people that will enjoy the job. while they are at it, they should spend a few bucks and pave the place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i know that this year there attendence was very poor, if they dont do somthing to improve, they will sell out and do what every other strip is doing. build condo units on the land.
they need a better manager, and nice more racer friendly staff.
