Default A little photo action from Sunday.......

These pics shows what happens when the M/T's turn loose from not waiting for 2nd when hitting the 100 shot and driving thru it! When I get the 100 shot to hold in first then I'm going to hit it with the 150 second stage.

I have no experience with nitrous, should you hit it that early in the run? I thought nitrous was more for top-end performance.

Nitrous is for anytime and can especially help one out of the hole...if you can keep traction.

Great pictures! You can really see how you lost traction in the second picture by the way your front end drops.

It does transfer weight pretty well considering the rake. Getting the front end up some will help. 90/10 drag shocks up front( or adjustables set soft on extension) and adjustable's in the rear to soften it up to squat as well as removing the rear overload leaf (the lower leaf) taking off the front sway bar or at least unhooking it to allow the wheels to drop. A larger diameter front tire will help the rake; although it looks good it is bad for traction. Caltracs work well if you don't have them.
