... I also thought about getting together at Cartersville's "cruise-in" too.

Take your best shot, all I can do is say no. It would have to be as it sits plus all three sets of wheels/tires, stock 10-bolt (w/4.10's) and stock supsension. I wouldn't de-mod or split anything up at this point.

Shakedown runs ... we didn't get there until late (2:30) and the track was going away by then (if it was even there-local small track). I was running with only my stock tach (no light yet), no two step and no line lock (all yet to come). My burnouts were in second and heel-toeing the brake and gas so I really didn't get too many passes with proper heat (spinning 15-20' out). It was cool in the low 50's and windy, but sunny. I will start another thread with the details, photos and a few videos when I get them edited. Here's the skinny ....
Best overall run out of 11 runs was (yes, this is an 1/8-mile track) ...
0.895 RT
1.933 60'
7.544 ET
103.32 MPH
... best RT was 0.573
... best 60' was 1.794
... best ET was 7.536
... best MPH was 106.00
My goal is to get it into the 6's.

Thanks ... not too shabby for a budget setup!
We weighed it on the 9.5"/11" chrome ZR1's with 275/315 555's at a Cat Scale .... 3,460 (1,940 front axle / 1,520 rear axle) and again on the 4"/10" RT-S's with the 26"/27" setup .... 3,380 (1,900 front axle / 1,480 rear axle). This is a non-TC / hardtop car, but the weight seems very low. I read Cat Scales are less accurate on reduced weights such as a car as compared to a 40,000# tractor trailer. We have a local recycle yard that agreed to weigh it so I am going to re-check the race weight.
