Now you know how I feel. You have a car capable of much more, yet the tires are your only limiting factor.

Yea, you know what they say about those Rear ends...... I mean, a 7.5" 10 Bolt in an LS1 Fbody, is kinda like a really hot chick with a stinky puss. You really wanna get on it, but then again, you really don't.

i think the key looking back at the videos would have been just to go from like 3k and let it spin instead of the 2k and 2250 we were trying but i think you were the only person to chirp 4th congrats

Maybe you should heat the tires up a little longer. 3 seconds or more for me.

who was the only person to chirp 4th?
i know that Mark was talking about getting any traction, and then
i made a pass and he said that they heard me hit every gear. then
he just walked away saying "i retract that last statement"
