I would like to do something at Paradise sometime. Since it is getting to the end of the season, though, I just might until next year when I have something sticky. I am sure my Nitto "streets" won't be up to the task.

My car doesn't hook all that great usually a 1.60 short time.

You don't have to be the fastest car to win a 5spd race.

I can only guess at a 2.0 60' .... I have no traction on the 555's. What do other 500/500 M6 cars run on 555's? I would like to take it down the track at least once this year, but I would much rather do it on something reasonably sticky.

What size rims do you have? I've a set of 28x11.50 hoosier dots cheap.

I am still looking for a track set. Based on my budget it will probably be a set of 15" Race Stars. My street set is 17's. Since most of my initial setup runs will be in the 1/8 mile (Paradise in Calhoun), I will run 26's. When I make to Commerce, I will be needing 28's, a cage and scattershield to run. I have heard that Silver Dollar and Alabama International are not picky about NHRA requirements, but they sure are far. Paradise is only 40 minutes from me!
