Is it me or does that track have some serious downhill slope to it? Nice run no matter what kind of track.

it's byron and the return road is sloped up ... which makes the track look like it slopes down in the vid

That car took off pretty good for radial tires! Damn automatics :p

Radial racing is great because anyone watching the car is probably thinking WTF!? after seeing the car run an 11 on big tires. When I ran 11.3 @ 126 on 18" Pirellis, people at the track were thinking the car had to be spraying LOL.

THANKS for all the compliments. I was more then pleased my first time out and not having much seat time in the car. I ran it on the 20's just to have some fun and get a feel for things and it impressed the heck out of me. It is always nice to run 8 tenth better then you expected :p

The car needs a bigger gear to run full potential N/A (traps at 6500) since the motor peaks at 7100. The PCM could also use a upgrade to take full advantage,maybe next year.

I have the spray all ready for testing now (TNT F2),but ran into a cracked shrader valve Friday. I will have that fixed by this weekend and hope to be at the track in a week or 2 armed and on the new Bogarts

I will be sure to update things as they improve.

I was not sure about them at first,but i love them now.I wish i could just get a little wider tire on the rear.
