Saw a few of you out there last night. As for the guy who didnt get a slip... My guess is that you didnt run at 92 mph unless you have around 430 to the wheels.. and if you did you would have to spin all the way down track to run a 8.6.. I can deffinetly see a 8.6 at 82mph to 87mph somewhere in that range.. NOt sure what mods you have but at least you got out there and experienced it. It only gets better with practice. It pays to watch for a hour or to as well.
Saw a few of you out there last night, did the cammed camaro on slicks and skinnys blow up the rear end? I didnt get to see it run... I'm running a cammed/headers/cutout car and nobody says anything to me.....? I was out there last night and ran a 7.75 @ 90.11 with a 1.65 60', I was happy 
, considering my slave is going out and cant shift for ****

well those 5, 6, second cars are cool but i think they should keep those cars on the trailer until the weekend. thursdays should be for street cars.
the weekend races are expensive! the track blows, and its not every weekend. thats why the street cars have street legals once a month for the daily drivers to race.. irwindale is Test n tune for everyone

Mine isnt electric. I go through tech with it open and they don't say anything. My only guess is because my car is cammed, they assume it to be loud no matter what exhaust I run, but cars running a stock cam with an open cutout can be a giveaway....
I will go at the end of this month anyone else in?? getting a built 4l60e in my baby and another goody, looking for high 7's now I just need a helmet, last time they were givin me crap cause I ran an 8.44 at 85.95 and no helmet damn, not bad for my stock car.
my brothers cam is very very healthy i think its the headers that make it loud, but it really sucks *** to have to **** with the cutout when the exhaust is hot as hell, putting the cap on or taking it off
