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.

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.
