That with the new gears which use the powerband alot better which will give more exceleration (spell) should make him very fast.
Of course I'd love to see him hit a street night this week and just see what the rear swap did by itself.

I agree, Mike. LVD's got the roughest, most rut-filled burnout box and starting line on the east coast, and probably the shortest shut-down area for the 9 sec. and faster cars, as well....But they do have the easiest tech-in, probably in the country! WJ

WJLOL you never raced at LI dragway when it was open, the ruts in the burnout box were so bad my 315s just barely rolled over them I remember when Rich and Ken brought the ESP Silver Bullet there one time and it made its first 8 sec pass in tech they said to Richie "thats alot of roll bar for that car"
and never looked under the hoodand ATCO has been the easiest for tech i have ever seen, ya ask where tech is with your car on trailor and they say "you just went through tech"
I have seen LVD be really strict years ago when the old guy was there he could spot things 5 cars deep, now its battery secure, helmut and go race

WJJoe, if you cant get up there to make 6:00 runs forget it. Like warren said once the dewpoint is reached it gets pretty slippery and youre just running for your GF
