66 was gay because it was unorganized. we were waiting in line for 2 hours and they just let other people cut right in. i am never going there again, i only got 2 passes in. the right lane was all gunked up and I couldnt get any traction so my times were horrible.

US41 is closer anyway, just thought 66 would be more professional.

Glad I did't go. Went to Morris cruise night instead, 800 cars and a boat load of people. They close off the strip so you don't have to worry about traffic. Then some chick won $6,000 in the 50 / 50 raffle.

Hey what tires are you running? I couldnt get grip for ****. I should be at least running low 12s but I couldnt get traction on my BFGs. What gives?

I just put a set of Nitto 555R Drag Radials on it last week....gave em' a quick 5 second burnout..they launched without any issues.

Both runs had 1.7 60' times...now it's time for a cam swap

Were you behind me in the tech line? I thought that was your car but I wasn't sure..

yea that was me. I guess Nitto Drag Radials are much better than BFG KDW tires. They are 10.5" in the rear and I just did like an 1/8 mile burnout. I was so ******* pissed off. That was even after I warmed the tires up pretty good.
