Many things to discuss and a great opportunity for any new folks to "meet" us!

Sorry I missed it. I was on a plane to Charlotte, then off to Boston. Back home Friday.

Race Day

Well I didn't make it into the 14's, but I came very close. I ran a 15.3 and a 15.7. Not too shabby. I truly believe I could have made it into the high 14's. When I was launching, the rear end was bouncing like a mother. I was prolly reving too high. Not much traction either. It started raining and that ended the races. And AL, I have the time slips to show ya. I still had a lot of fun. The car however, I noticed that my sincros are whining. Not terribly loud, just enough to notice. I hope I didn't mess up the trans. And did I mention I hate these BFGoodrich tires. Yeah they just suck.

I think if you put more air in the tires, that should take care of the rear end hopping problem. Launching at about 5K and modulating the wheel spin with the clutch is the way I would handle it. I don't know if the stock clutch would be able to handle it though.

hey blue, wheres that last one from? wow, it doesnt even look familiar to me.

and being on a mac, i can save/convert to almost anything. its just that if i put the list directly in an email it tends to get a bit garbled (tabs dont translate well)

currently its in excel then i export as a pdf. ill send everyone one in an email and see what you all think ...
