[QUOTE=RyanM02;10538730]I see that we have 67 members on LS1tech. Some are still getting registered accounts or I dont have their name on tech yet. But overall we are looking strong on tech. Dfwstangs is another big source for us. But tech has given us a solid foundation.

My bro is not on LS1tech, and I doubt he will join anytime soon...however he is a member of LSM. So you can just put a +2 or something next to my name...

Sounds like y'all had some fun. Wish I could've gone, but I'm limiting myself with the money. I'll see you guys tomorrow night at No Frills. I will have your hoodies and t-shirts in. Also, this is just a disclaimer, but if your hoodies or shirts don't fit I'm sorry guys. I did my best to give you an idea of how they would fit. I hope we don't have any issues like that though. Oh yea...Tuesday nights are $1pints for domestic beers at No Frills.
Here's the links to their locations and their menu.

Drag radials need 16psi plus... no lower from what Madman and the shop says.
they are finicky more than slicks... the side wall is solid and doesn't wrinkle. Much less forgiving and create wheel hop or chatter. Also they dont need a long burnout and getting them too hot is bad. The shop said the ideal temp for track surface to tire surface variation shouldnt be more than 10 degrees.
Alot can be said for learning this stuff. Also, to know if you need more clicks on the shock etc takes experience. Knowing how to launch and stage etc is something Mellow probably has down pat by now.... but knowing how the car reacts is an entirely different lesson.

We threw DR's on HOS and did a few shock tweaks and it went a 1.40 60'...leaving easy. We turned it up for the next pass and that is when the axle broke. It was about to do a mid 1.3.
All we did was bolt them on. I feel if you have your suspension setup right, there shouldn't be any big changes between DR and slicks. A DR is actually faster than a slick.

I'm going to be getting to No Frills around 8:30 or 9:00. I have to work late, but I will not miss this one. I pushed for this location and want to keep it here. Another good thing is if we want to park in the back, they have an outside bar area that we see all the cars. Also, there's a parking lot security 24/7. If we have permission, we can work with them to get the trash out if they show.

As the great Wayne and Garth once said..... Im not worthy, Im not worthy
Anyways, guys I hope your ready. I really do cause the car is going to wreak of victory. I will have the blood of fallen drivers splattered all over the car in a manner to speak of a slaughtering victory.
Prepare for hell on earth... as soon as I buy the roller....
Scott, you were right... and now my wallet is going to pay for it...
To win, you need 2 things. Me... and a ton of money. I only take appointments BTW.
The track was fun as always, look forward to going again real soon. How many more days of K-dale are left?
Before Mike makes fun of me, I am a car betting rookie. I have never bet on races and it was a rush to see people doing it. And I did jump on Mike like a spider monkey with tons of questions. I admit I am completely new at anything betting when it comes to racing.
But it sure was fun to watch!

I'll be there tomorrow night also.
I'm off for the rest of the week too. Which is very good because I really need time away from the hell hole in which I work. Anyone know of any job openings starting next year? I want to wait until then so I get my 3 weeks of vacation for being there 5 years.
