The only time my car went to the track it ran like crap, but the trap was good.
We had very crappy street tires, and a 10 bolt with a 4.10. I was afraid of a tire, cause it would of broke the 10 bolt. Now that that issue has been taken care of, and the car as a tire on it, it wont be as slow as it was, but still the slowest in IL no doubt.

Im less worried of it breaking, but there is always the trans/driveshaft. Im still on a stock driveshaft cause i want to go th400 this winter.

Anyways, when you guys figure out what day your going ill see if i can figure something out to get up there for a little bit maybe.

PSJ next rsd if you go we will have to meet up and let me check out your car.

Ah, that makes sense I'm just used to being the only Sean around.

Whats up Neil? Yea man, its having minor issues. Its running a bit hot, and fuel issues. We can't find a good way of mounting the fuel pump with the stock plastic tank, so I will be buying the fuel tank that Behind Bars Race Cars make. Its a real nice piece.
I think the car should be ready by 2 weeks. Hopefully they aren't too strict with the rules at GLD now, so I dont have to bring the car back to you so soon to get the side bars chopped off and make it into a 8 point.

Let me know. I need to get a time on my Camaro before it goes the way of the Dodo.

Also, what ET do you need to have a drive shaft safety loop?

If you go to rsd they wont check.. I wouldn't worry about it.

I believe the rulebook is 13.99 or faster for a dsl.

The tech guy checks over stuff, not sure how lenient they are for cars without roll cages that are going 11.9 and faster.
