[QUOTE="rodfarva, post: 10074487, member: 103353"] I've not yet decided if I'm gonna run it or not. For one thing, I don't have a cage yet. Also, the only other time I had it at the track was 2 weeks ago when I bent the LCA relocation bracket and shredded the slick. Ok, get ready for a lot of excuses, but this was the first time I've drag raced in 12 years, and I only raced a couple of times back then. I was only starting to figure out how to launch the car a couple of weeks ago. I was only getting 1.8 60fts, granny shifting, and the ignition was still breaking up like crazy and the best I could muster was 7.30s in the 1/8th on the 21 psi 93/torco tune. As an encouraging note, it did trap 105 on one pass, even with the ignition breakup and 90 degree heat. I suspect that the 60ft time from the last pass would have been much better had the bracket not bent and caused me to nearly hit the wall. I've now got a set of Hoosier Drag Radials, and I'm not sure how the car is gonna like to launch on them. The car still needs some suspension tweaking and a ton of driver mod.;-) I'm in the Louisville area. Charles Gordon over in Corydon, IN does my tuning. [/QUOTE]
