Fontana or californa speedway (1/4th) is about 1hr 15min,barona (1/8th) is about the same maybe a little less and qualcamm is a joke and its about 40min. Qualcamm is a parking lot 1/8th mile track lol. Last time I ran there I spun 1,2 and 3rd. Ran a 7.9/8.0@96-98ish (stock rearend) lol. I wish I had a 1/4th track that close!! I just hope my car can run about as well as your car.

We had a 1/8th mile track like that in Sealy, Tx (Since bought by Hennessey(sp?) and converted to a full 1/4) that had nominal traction unless the prior night was a Pro Mod Eliminator. THEN the track was doused with VHT and you could barely walk across it without the track pulling your shoes off your foot. Lol.. Sixty foots would go from the non-VHT bests of 1.9x - 2.x to a VHT assisted 1.6x.

Your S/C setups sound real healthy. I think I'm happy that I went with the Turbo versus the S/C but it was REAL tempting to go with a Setup like you guys have. Sounds like some kickass cars!
