Street Wars video's.. "GOT RUBBER"

Here's a few video's of my car from today's event at Etown...

Still some bugs to work out but were getting closer...
Car is basically spinning for most of the 330 and the tires are rubbing pretty bad...
To say I need some suspension adjustments is an understatement

Here's the 9.5 pass..

On this run there was an RX-7 that broke 2 cars in front of me and laid some oil near the 1/8 mile.
The very next car right around the 1/8 got out of the groove and went towards the center lane.
Just so happened same thing happened to me and I tried to hang on and drive it back into the groove but it wasn't happening..

The car after me I believe also had the same problems and they finally decided to look at the track again and clean it.

Have a look:

Here's the first pass of the day..
Tune was very safe and wanted to make sure it would get down the track before I leaned on it..

The chute did come out right away on the first pass, i guess that means Leo is off the hook

Looking great. You need to get a baseball bat under those rear fenders! What size rear slicks are you running, 26 x 10.0?

He will easily slam 8's. Spinning Enzo went 9.07, still rich.
