The new car looks like its coming along nicely Your car is flying. 147 is outstanding!!!

That's a lot of weight to push pulling down the track. Didn't know that M/T made 315-17's?

Any way congrats.

David

thats awsome , especially with those 17" rims, and 1.6 short time, imagine what youd be at if you had a 15" rim and close to a 1.3 youd probably be about near eights
i wish i had my tranny to see what my pte88 could do.

and at a 3900 raceweight!

How are you stopping at Richmond with that trap speed? I know a few people running bikes out there and they said there on the brakes as hard as they can to stop from 150 trap speeds and they weigh nothing compared to a car. It looks like it time to put a real cage in your car so its safe.
