Those that didn't make it didn't miss much, the track was horrible for traction.
I took my Buick Regal 4 door and couldn't hook at all, my best time was 13.18
@102 mph with a 2.02 sixty foot........maybe next timewill be better.

what kind of hood struts do you have for your ultra z hood? i dont have any on my car right now cuz my stock ones are to tight. they caused my hood to flex. has a small crack in paint and put some dents in it. the dents came out but i still need to find some hood struts. thanks.

^^ I guess they are stock... I got the hood new from SLP and a body shop put it on. Not sure if they had to change hood struts.

the ones on my car that came stock are real stiff and arent as soft as oem relacement. thats what im saying. they are to tough so when i close the hood it puts to much strain on it and causes it to flex.
