Oh, I thought you meant 11.50 and faster. My bad.

Helmet, driveshaft loop, metal valve stems on the drive tires, and your wheel studs have to stick out throught the lug nut the same length as the diameter of the lug nut. (If you are using slicks)

Thanks again. I never would have thought of any of this.

What is 66s elevation? I must be calculating DA wrong. I have calculated 2000DA in slightly cooler and less humid air. What is a good calculator to use?

I might go and not run my car. Last week I ruined it for everyone at the end of the night after my car broke.

I was plannin on going til it started raining a little bit on my way home from work. Didn't feel like paying $15 if it was gonna be a rainout. Went last tuesday and was quite disapointed in my e.t. I need a stall bad. Instead I decided to put my new wheels on. Just got a set of Y2K's
