The new guy in charge of track prep up at Great Lakes Dragaway has been really listening to the racers, and doing a great job of making changes.
We have been leaving with around 10ish
60's have been in the low 1.20's thus far.

Well Nick's car has all the Midwest stuff, real good shocks, and with Nick and I already have a ton of laps on the car, and Eric's wealth of knowledge the car got A to B in 4 runs this year on a whole new combo..
The Procharger 3rd gen went A to B on it's 4th pass..

Yes, they are a must on these cars. We have Strange doubles on the front of both, and in my opinion with those I cannot control the front end enough. The blower car is strapped down tight, the turbo cars like a little more travel to stay planted.
We are going to start creeping the boost up on the starting line and see if we can get the front end tighter and make it stay planted.

Fender exits, lexan, and he won't race an unprepped track. Too much time and money.
It will see a lot of grudge shootout racing next year though, as will Nick's white Camaro, and our nitrous Trans Am.

Read the last few pages where TS sold people bad turbos,ripped people off by over charging there CC,and many more things....

IF there is anything to this please post more links. I am tired of people changing names and coming back to get some more racers. People have enough problems with a project when they get their parts.
