Yeah it had nothing to do with being 50*'s outside...lmao The track can only be SO good... I still 60'ed 1.64 n/a so it wasnt THAT bad... But, I agree the track wasnt great Friday..

lmao...ok Thats a matter of opinion and doesnt even required argument... That feild by Denton is what hurts it.. The temp drops and the feild releases moisture. Sucks for Denton but, I still hooked so track prep wasnt that bad but when you go to a drag strip with radials dont blame the strip. They are designed for slicks or street slicks... They didnt build the track with radial users in mind, lol....

Yes... It's black w/ tan on bottom about 8" or so..

Im just saying I know you guys arent dumb but, I hear a lot of people bitch about track prep and their in stock cars w/ walmart radials and trying to hit the **** out of the hole... You gott arealize that tracks are ment for slicks... Radials tear the **** out of a track... Spend more time on hooking than making power and your rewards will be greater...

about a week ago i was about to go from camaro to new civic (no joke)

and as for smaller cam if you saw the curve my current cam makes on the dyno you would understand. but its ok once my cars paid off (if it lasts that long) in two years, ill start to go agressive... and its about time for a new set up this will be my 3rd cam in less then 2 years
