Damn George that sucks. I was wondering where you were at. Does that mean you have to get a whole new trans or is it fixable.

I got kicked out twice and was able to get wristbands again from the guy at the booth I ran 3 nearly exact runs 2 @ 7.15 and 1 at 7.16 all three runs were with a 1.59 60" and at 97.9 MPH.

Faster than 8.6 you need a helmet, Umm tech is the usual stuff, your car can't be falling apart, even though there are quite a few hondas out there that look like they are falling apart. Faster than 7.3 you need a cage in the car. If you want to meet up I live like 2 miles form there and go every thursday, I won't be getting there till a little later like 6 ish possibly gonna run my car on et streets this week and see how she does.

cool I will be there probably pretty early to get some runs in because I need to leave by 8 but I will keep an eye out for you and we can meet up and run some. My car is the brown champagne color with et streets and skinnies on the front no badges.

I will be there for sure, I have a pewter hardtop Z28, I will clarify that mine is slow, I am hoping with dr's I should hit the 7.9 mark. I am a really tall white guy.

Do you have a stall or gears? I put drag radials on mine and it went the same because of the increased tire diameter but once the stall got put on it was way faster.

Yeah I have a 3k stall built trans by xtreme performance, lid exhaust and 3:42 M6 gears. My car is slow but fun. On street tire I ran a 1.89 60' and a 8.18 ET at 85.5 so i am hoping that with the tire I can launch her at 2k or so and get traction doing so.
