Default Track video '99 SS w/MS4, PRC stg 1's, 9"

Here is a video i threw together of me at the track a few months back. This is with a completely STOCK suspension. I hope to improve my times a good bit once i get some suspension stuff and skinnies.

It looks to me like an airbag in the right rear would help get you out of the hole
better...or an antiroll bar.

Good vid.

Good vid.
Your not the first person to mention an airbag. Ill have to take that into consideration. Who sells them?

Im revving to about 5k rpms and flooring it just before i side step the clutch. That seemed to be the best way to get it to 60ft. My best 60ft so far is only a 1.67. Im running some kinda old and little dry 26" MT ET streets.

Hopefully after a few suspension mods such as tq arm, lca's, sfc's, shocks ect. then ill be in the 1.5's 60ft. We will see.

I mentioned that because it looks to me like it's squatting hard to the right
(from the torque) and the uneven weight distribution looks to be causing
traction and launching issues (not leaving straight). I'm no expert here, but
I'd bet that it's unloading the force on your left rear tire which is just
going to cause you to smoke the tires.

Summit, jegs...pretty much any local sponsor can get one for you pretty
cheap.

I figured thats what you were referring too. It looks that way to me too. Thanks for the info.

I saw you one of those nights at Dunn. You need to make sure you aren't dog legging as well. Not too many I've seen run an airbag. I dropped 60ft just switching to Hyperco springs and didn't even have the relo brackets.
