I'm going. If you still want to sell those tail lights bring them with you and I will pick them up.

saw your GTO running. good times. heard your pickup was going 11s! damn man. i cut a best of 12.33 at 113 mph with a 1.7 60'. i need to do a serious driver mod and 28" MT ETs and i should cut her down good. oh and Local Heretic's MTM WS6 is a factory freak. cutting mid 11s with a cam and stall on a stock suspension/10bolt. VERY impressive! there was also a bunch of C6s as well as a guy from St Augustine with a black Z06 running good numbers then **** his rear end. looking forward to next weekend.

mY Silverado had nothing in it. My tranny needs Doc to adjust again. I was bouncing off the limiter 3 or more times before it would shift to second. Sucked AZZ.

I didn't know the Z rear went out. Was it the yellow one ?

12.3 ET ain't bad at all, but with 113 mph you probably have a good 2-3 tenths in her yet. Cold air and a good prepped track will do it for ya. That track was like ice last night. My best sixty was a 1.97...I tried every trick I knew. The GTO had my drag pac and was a best of 2.1 sixty. He finally got a 12.9 on that one. His shifter is shot !!

28 is a tall tire, I think that will kill your sixty foot. What gear are you running ? I run 26 in slicks on both my strokers, and a 25.5 on drag radials (which is a bit small).

i've got a Moser 9" with 4.30s. i was sidestepping the clutch at 5500ish and it would rap out of first too quickly. i could get some 28s under it and leave on the limiter. mt ET streets are past the wear bar so they are pretty slippery. i cut a best of

R/T .530
60' 1.822
330' 5.153
1/8 7.944
MPH 87.43
1000' 10.342
1/4 12.335
MPH 113.63

my best 60' of the night was a 1.744

Yeah, I agree (I didn't notice your gear). With that rear end a 28" will set you off !! It will just be the tire pressure game !

i was at 13 psi for the 12.60s and 10 psi for the 12.30s but it was a death trap at the big end. i'm going 28s next time and shooting for 11s.

I was on the track and watched your last run. The ice-track was killing you. She spun real hard at launch. A good prep would have had you some 1.5's at least.

Bummer I missed it, thought the weather would screw us. Maybe the next time since I have new stuff to test.....
