A tech session to learn how to get the best traction at the dragstrip. We will be exploring how your car’s suspension works and what changes you can make to get a better 60 foot time and a more consistent ET. We’ll also look at devices like rev limiters that will help you at the starting line.

The session will be at my house near Monroe. You can get directions from your favorite online map program.

Considering the heads haven't been touched on the T/A, my luck would be "Rear end is fine. Engine is...toast. See? Its smoking!"

Hope there is a way to make it up for this but I doubt it on such short notice.
