You did say to all of us that you were a badass driver and wouldn't have any problems etc etc etc after you were busting my balls about missing fourth.

Nick has been faster than a 12.6. Him and I were both running faster than that last time out.

And of course you think you're a better street driver. There is nothing to tell you otherwise like a time slip. Everyone's car feels faster on the street. lol.



You don't have your 20's anymore? You running the bigs/littles full time?
Not back peddling one bit. I've always said I would need practice and seat time at the track. We just got the car running like it should NA. I knew I wasn't going to do great at the track my first go around. But I know I will get better.


And yes I sold my 20's to another member and I wouldn't consider 17X7 littles and 305's bigs since people on running those anyways.

Yes since I used over half a tank driving down there and 1/4 of a tank racing. Good thing I brought a 6 extra gallons with me or I wouldn't gotten home since no one in Ennis including the track sells gods juice.

Haha , yeah those cars tend to drink a lil more but that is the price for uber power. Oddly enough though, Kevin drove all the way there and home on the same tank. Fuck, if he only knew what he was doing...

Awesome! How did you do on your passes? Wasn't that turnout bad ass too? Not bad for "not a car club", right?

More seat time will help but only so much as we saw Clint who definitely knows how to drive pedal it marginally faster. 117-119mph is good for 11.6-11.8. Spinning usually increases mph. With 500+ HP I expect your combo to go 125-130mph without the NOS. The top NA guys in the country (wbt, caspergt, shaun@aed, j.j.@woodbine) with stock heads, stock cams, stock internals run 125-126mph...stock suspension too with just 275 rear DRs and littles upfront. All the cars weighed in right around 3500-3600 with fuel and driver. (Roughly 150-250 lbs pulled out of the cars depending what model and options they had).

What changes to the suspension or tires do you think are needed to increase mph by 6-11mph and drop a full second in e.t.?

Jeff was saying last night with him in the car he's over 4000lbs. Those other guys must be gutting the shit out of their cars.
