Thanks buddy. I'm more excited for the Radial prep day on April 1st at Capitol. finally get to turn it up and see what it will do for this season. I'm tired of pulling power out to run these stupid no prep events.
I won't run no prep. Too many racers run shit cars and don't care if they crash.

I'd hope so! I will be ready buddy. We should be the race of the year for sure. pretty wild to go 9.4's shifting low and low power and timing setup.

We went a little faster yesterday. I’m inching closer to my 8 second slip on this stock engine, trans and rear. Tuned by 1320 tunes.

Heck I've had over 2 hours round trip went and run similar times and made it home no issue! That was a family trip wife and baby in the car as well.
Congrats on the pass do what you need to do to get that 60ft down. Are you first or second geat laucning.
2 years ago that 60ft was outstanding but times have changed and 1.3s are the new 1.4s.

Man to tell you the truth that launch was already harder than I've ever been on the car. left at about 1100 rpm in first. ill send the video to you something happened about 25 feet out and there was a hell of a pop in the rear and felt it in the car. but she was still moving so I stayed in it. you can see it in the video at the 46 second mark. I have to shuffle some cars at home to get it on the lift today.

That’s no good! Did you attempt another pass or was that a day? I had an alignment shop not tighten the tabs on the aad kit and one pop out but you’d noticed that on the drive home

Trailer? Thought this was a street car? 🤔
