2.84 60' here , spinning 2 gears, and going "squirrely" on the 2-3 shift... wtf my friggin car is too heavy(3600#'s by itself) and underpowerd to do that, but thanks to the lack of track prep, I could

The best I could muster was my normal 2.25 60' (on 4+ years-old Firehawk EP 50's) with a 9.2x @ 78.76 mph (translated ~13.9's in the 1/4)


and it still cost $25 to run we'll for a change I beat Slowhawk (for those of you who weren't there he broke somthing in the drivetrain 1/10th of a second into his launch (and it cannot get more beefed up ))

Cheesy, the Vette drivetrain can easily be toughened up. They need to find out what broke first and go from there.

Not really sure about doing a live axle swap on those cars (it's done consistently on Cobras) but I wonder if that's an option for that car?

Bah, if it's going to be a race car it should just get a 12 bolt.

nope ... didn't say that. The blue one is sold . I wasn't sure about him running the silver one, that's where the confusion was at. He plans to look at the drivline today

gregggggg, i didnt run, and it wasnt bad for b-man to get some seat time, we got the suspention diald in a bit, however.
i hate N|ED as well big time. worst track i have ever been to. the only good thing is it is 45 minits from my house.


the vett broke, and as long as it hooks with 700-800 rwhp, it will keep breaking! those half shaft set up suck. just like the cobra's.

it might run a few times, but i bet after the owner blows somthing in the rear 1,2,3,4,5 times or more. the 12 bolt conversion will be done.
