Nah. Was having too much fun hanging out with the group. That was the first we've all been together in awhile. Foof, Lurch, Womack, Strokd, Blownaltered. None of us raced, we were having too much fun catching up having a good time. Besides, I haven't changed anything on my car and I know what it will run. I know I can hang with your car with YOU driving.

I would hope so since it's nothing but a dyno race with anything under 800rw car. Doesn't take any skill for a sub-800rw car roll race. Which is a good thing for you. lol

Just wait till I get some slicks and some seat time. Don't worry I'll be running the times I should.

Yup. You'll get it with more time. Obviously the car has some good times in it with a competent driver like Clint. The MPH says a lot at 119 with Clint driving and 114 with you. You just need some practice to learn the car and not be nervous with it. You and I would be a good race right now.

And like I said on Facebook, that was the first time to take that car down the 1/4 mile track and first time for me in over ten years. I need more seat time for sure and figure out the best combo for my car with the MT82

In theory you should, sure. I'd agree with that since you make like 80rw more than I do. But what I was saying that roll racing anything under the 800rw power level doesn't take a lot of skill. Above that is a different story though and take some skill when you get to big power levels.

But I'll run you. 1st gear roll from like 10-15mph and you have to put your street tires back on to be fair.

Those were my street tires I was running last night.
