Good god, a day at the valley without a 20 mph headwind? That can't be right LOL.

I'm all set, it's either gonna run a .40, or I"m gonna put it on the bumper again, or blow it up trying

LOL, this is true.

I want to get the car back to the mid 1.3 60 foots that it would do with the old converter, if I can do that and playing with the jets a little more get what it did the last time I'll be in good shape.

I dunno what I am gonna do to try to get it to 60 foot harder. I wanna try turning the rear shocks up one more click to see if that will help, I'd like to try to loosen the fronts another hole, but I think I know what that will do.. and the end result may not be as good as the last time.

Yeah, that's what Chef said when I talked to him too. I dunno if Ken's gonna make it or not if he comes up great, if not I'll mess with what I have and see what happens.

Dude it's supposed to be a high of 63, meaning it's gonna be in the 40's when we get there LOL. I can change teh plugs on the trailer, but that bitch is gonna foul the #10's out right quick trying to start it in 40 degree weather with them in there LOL.

I'm gonna need to warm the sucker up probably for a good 10 min, I'm gonna have to put the rear up on the jack to warm everything up this time, it's gonna be cold out!

I sent ya a PM, lemme know.

Can't wait, but Aaron, why did you post up the forecast for Saturday the 20th when it's on Friday the 19th???

Anyways, if we have good weather and no headwind, I'm hoping for an 11.8 at 117 with a better 1.6 60' than last time, but we'll see what happens. I'm really waiting to see if Aaron's new master helps so I can buy one and powershift this thing.

The only thing I have better than last time is the rev limiter is bumped up but I'm also keeping the 17s on the front instead of the 16s with snow tires.

You need to get some weight out of that car and a set of shocks on it, and then you'll see it pick up a ton.

Aha. Well, it's looking like a HIGH of 63 degrees and SUNNY for Friday, so that would be sick weather for a track rental day. Barring a strong headwind, the cars should run well. I can't wait. Ron's out of his freakin mind for not bringing one of his cars up.

Agreed.

But like he said there isnt a point of bringing a car up that isnt ready, but then again there was time.

I think if he wanted to go, he wanted to bring EVERYTHING, and I think he doesnt have a fire jacket....
