looking good. Your times are similar to mine. You should bring it up to GA for the showdwon event in Nov. or the IFO event in Montgomery.

love this car, keen to see links to the build if there is some, but your vid you did earlier does a pretty good job of showing the build up

Mine went out tonight at the track first pass. Yo know how it is. Spend 1650 on new wheel tire package, 150 on fuel, few hours to get ready and bam. Clutch gone. I was feeling good about a 6.2-6.3 pass with the cool air tonight. Major let down!

You should be really good at it by now, just take some tools with you next time you go to the track and do it there.

I peaked at it last night and I am not sure its glazed or just wore the **** out. Lots of chunks out but it was thin enough to be well into the rivets. I will run what I have for now but going to look at a better combo for next year. Going to see if I can get ACT to hook me up more.

I am not so sold on the msd 2 step, at least with our setups. My best 60 foot to date was the night I had issues with my 2 step not activating. I went pedal down and cut a 1.36.

Think it's the video in my sig.
