You need to move to some better elevation, lol. Running 10's in 6000ft is no joke. I plan on taking my car out to one of the fabled "sea level" tracks sometime in the fall. You gonna be ready for the shootout?

It sucks that your thread kinda went to ****. Always the case when the 45-year-old posts up.

Rent one from U-Haul. That's what I did last time I tracked my car. It will probably run you $75ish for 2-3 days. They come with wraparound tie-downs for the front tires, but you'll need 2 for the rear axle.

I have some sweet axle straps.

I need a trailer anyway, buy renting is an option if necessary.

Exactly what makes you think you need to run a narrowed rear for a 100 shot? I mean seriously. That's ******* hilarious!

maybe his 395.457928037450293461203948721 is really a "fully forged nick motor"


then again he'd probably be faster then.
