Default Shitty runs at PIR.

Lol. Good thing it didn't run down my leg. The launch box was awefull. I couldn't break a 13.4. Tried getting gangsta my first run and spun all over left and right. Almost hit the wall and the 60 ft time on that was 2.55

I was there with my Nova. And yes, the starting line was terrible, as usual. Don't get me started on that.

What car were you in?

My Nova is blue with a white domed hood. Duh, in my Avatar. At PIR when they actually preped on Friday/Sat nights.

Ron. I was in the white TA. I've seen that nova around for a few years. Lol. It's a beast . The guy in the red vert z28 said he couldn't break 14.3 and threw up his hands like wtf?

I will be sure to say hello next time I see you. I also run the Yellow C5, it won't hook either.

It is very frustrating to have such a nice facility that simply won't take care of the track.

Woodburn is great, but I drive both cars to the track, and if you break, well, you are stuck 50 miles from home.

A few years ago, the Nova never spun the tires, ever, at all! It will run high nines.

Something I'm considering is, my first run ( the fish tailing ) one, I had a 2.55 60 ft spinning like mad. I left it in drive. The other runs I took the right lane and stayed away from the left. In the other runs, I manually shifted and didn't hit it as hard. It seems like there was a lot more power starting in drive,, ,,,however I was plum scared to drop the hammer after the first pass. I'm basically looking at the 2.55 60ft with major spinning and trying to tell myself that if it had hooked well on that run I may have hit 12's. Comparing that with 2.029 and 2.026 running 13.4 and 13.5.

2.02 would be hard on street tires unless you have the suspension to back it up and power . Also not having many major bolt on that is not to bad of a run.
