really? I was amazed at the prep for a street night. my first pass I had a 1.37 60' and went 10.05 @ 132.

got back in line around 730 and I was the 2nd car in lane 7. they took break! I go owell there goes the track! and watch, Ill go first. sure enough here they come and ok lane 7 get ready. so I was the first car in the left lane. friggin car cut a 1.38 and went 10.06 @ 133. I was pleased to say the least.

today was a WHOLE diff story.....terrible TERRIBLE prep today.

Whoa, glad I didn't make it up there after all then!

That's the thing with NED, you never know what to expect.

maybe when you run slicks the track is so more forgiving.running drag radials is a bit different. those are some good 60' times badass03svt.what size slick are you running.are you done for the season, i think there having a buick vs ford at atco.in a couple weeks let me know maybe we can get a couple cars and head down.

The hoosier 17" 315 dr has more wobble than the 17" et street bias imo. The bias went straight at any speed at 16#. Like a cruise on sunday w 17" 03 replicas. Of course slicks are better, 15" is superior to 17". I dropped .4 sec. at low power w bias et streets..

well went to track last wknd new best time 9.59 at 144mph in the 1/4 and 116 in the 1/8 with a not so good 1.55 60' on mt drag radials. this was done at 3250lbs in a 5.4 turbo notch. will be turning it up soon.

Sweet RIDE! Next is a chute!

With some 1.30 60's you will be LOW 9's or HIGH 8's!!!!

Looking forward to seeing you run at NED next year! I'm local NH as well!

haha....was great! saturday was REALLY windy but sunday was 65 and not a cloud in the sky. I ran within .04 out of my 6 passes all weekend. you deff have to pay attention down there as they run things much differently than NED.

Sounds like you had a good time down there Jake. Did ya end up going by yourself?

yeap...left saturday morning at 3am...at the track for gates opening at 8.....cheapo hotel sat night....track sunday from 9 to 5 and drove home.

another from Ma that I know came down sunday with his new setup. car ran a best of 9.83@139 last year on a 302 / t-76 turbo setup. he had to make license passes and only got one so so run (crappy 60') in on his new t-88 turbo. car trapped 150.xx though.
