how strict is HRP. I should break the 11.49 time with no cage in the car. Also will they put you out of the groove if you have a drag radial?

They'll put you in the groove, but I wouldn't expect to make more than one pass under 11.5, lol. I plan on breaking that rule tomorrow night hopefully... I'll let you know how that goes. You going to bring that thing by so I can take a look at those bumpers for you?

the 11.49 rule depends really on your attitude when you break it. i race with a guy occasionally that goes below that and they usually give you a warning the first time and boot you the second. however there was a instance where one guy went below 11.49 and when they warned him about it he told them he wasn't going to slow down, so they pulled his tech card for the day. if the weather holds out and work stays up i'll meet you out there. can't promise nothing with this economy.

IF i get out of town early enough I could swing by, its a very good possibilty, wouldnt mind checking out your ride as well. Hell i might leave the car there sat and let you nightshade some stuff, maybe depends on money and if you could do it on sat.

understandable, and yeah I plan on trying to get it dialed in NA. then maybe last pass or so flip the switch. I dont plan on it to hit my goals on a first track outing.

I am very interested to see what your car does on nitrous since we made the same HP on motor and have similar setups, lol. I plan on adding it to mine later on.

im not looking forward to nail down some N20 times, prolly wont get the hit till mid 2nd gear, etc.

This outing is for baseline runs, trying to learn the car on the track, without HORRID results LOL.
