Firebird March 6th!!!

Hey guys I'm heading up to Firebird on Fri to get some runs in. Bringing a couple buddies with me. Hope to see some of you guys there. I'll be showin up a lil late since I'm waiting for my girl to get out of work.
We'll be there around 9. It's better then nothing for me, since S.I.R doesn't have TNT for a couple weeks.

Keep us posted. I might not be able to make it because I am having some seriously dagerous traction issues under full throttle and need to beef up my rear suspension to keep the axle straight.

Oh sorry mike I didn't check this before we left. Thanks alot though. I didn't see any of your runs at all. Did you do any better?

Well I got 4 runs in for the night. 1st run was bad. I launched to high and spun 1st badly, but no wheel hop, 14.6@104mph w/2.6 60ft. Second run i did a lil better but bogged. Launched to low. 14.1@101mph w/ 2.4 60ft. Third run was same, 14.1@101. Last run was my best. Launched a lil higher, 13.6@105mph w/2.282 60ft. That lanuch could've still been better but it worked for the night. I didn't bring a helmet so I got kicked off, but they were closing anyways, LOL

All in all I'm happy with how the car did for the setup it has. I was gettin better at launching as I need more practice now. I'm gonna be looking into tires as I'm still on the stocks.

I didn't know S.I.R was this Friday. I'd like to try and make it. Not to sure as I still don't have a helmet and not sure if I can afford one this week. Your MPH was really good. I really didn't like the Neo-Gen's for traction. You should get something better.

Sucks about the turbo. Hope it don't go out.
