If you're in columbus, wouldn't it be a shorter drive for you to go to silver dollar instead of commerce?

That's good to hear man. We have a similar issue here in Tucson. We have a local track, but its ******* slow! The few that make the trek up to Phoenix come back with hella fast timeslips. Interesting.

It makes me wonder if tracks atcually calibrate thier gates often. Or if they all do it the same way? I know some calculate the mph differently but ET should be the same....hmmm.

Anyway, you still need to get that 60' down though ...get some good tires or caltracs, especially with those 4.10's.

yeah I am thinking about some cheap drag radials that i would use only for the strip, but yeah **** i was happy to see the 15's i was expecting a 15.7 or .8 but 15.6 was a happy number, I am planning on throwing a 3000 stall on it and like i said the cheap radials or somthing to let me stick. It was fun though

Nice. Get your 60' in the 2.1 range and you'll be running 14.9x-15.0x. What tires do you have, and what pressure are you running? What rpm do you launch at? Great improvement from your last time racing, congrats.

umm Pressure is just what ever it is on the street, i think around 28psi, RPM's are around 1000, no torque braking, i foudn that if i torque brake i will spin the **** out of my tires, so just i think around 1000. My tires are just regular street tires. thanks
