but enough, cause ya'll are usually ruthless asshats anyway, so as much as i explain how it was...itll all end as "driver sux" "told ya so"
on to the runs
only got 4 runs in and am pissed at the track cause they closed early

only way i could launch (if you can call it that) was from an idle...anything more and i spun like mad. also, when shifting into second..no matter what i did, even feather clutch and gas i started to slip....track was ****


times:
run 1:15.728@94.04 w/ 2.829 60'
run 2:15.512@94.09 w/ 2.729 60'
run 3:15.288@94.22 w/ 2.535 60'
run 4:15.129@94.83 w/ 2.422 60'

i called osnosous (sp?) and while i was on the phone i launched from the side of the freeway and went to 100mph...and i could get a WAY better launch there then on the track...it was pathetic...UDDERLY PATHETIC!!!!!!
i will chock this one up to 1/4 driver error 3/4 track prep to ****

you are all right htough i wont be running a 13 sec run, but i very much should be running a 14.8 or so if the track people did anythign but sit on their asses!!!!!

Stock SS scs have been known to run low LOW 14s. You have no chance against one dude. Stop dreaming, its pissing me off.

All you noobs to drag racing need to realize that "drag slicks and drag radials" are "drag" tires for a reason. All season rubber isn't going to grip for ****.

So blame it on the track all you want, but I can guarantee you there was some people there with good 'ole american muscle and drag tires cutting sub 2sec 60ft's all night.

On a side note, i can't believe i even voted 14.7, should have known better. Man up and buy some damn slicks.

as for my time, track prep was EVERYTHING...it was worse then running on bare pavement...thats how bad this was!!! and this track couldnt EVER be described as being able to have someone get a "decent launch" when prepped like it was...AT ALL...EVER

no you won't. slicks don't break axles, wheel hop does on shitty all season rubber.

and btw...i kinda figured this would be the response i would get out of everyone


having alot of traction on spindly axels is a damned good way to brake axels...hmmmm
and i dont have anyone elses drag slips...i dont raid the slip shack

It's your choice.

FYI, I bought slicks. I'm on stock mounts and axles. No wheel hop, no broken axles.

you sure it was a real lsj and not someone with ss/sc ground package, your dreaming thinking that you beat an lsj. was it an old lady, granny shifting and you thought she was racing you...... do you konw for a fact that the car you raced was an ss/sc. other than looks and you just thinking and saying it was.

If you think its not even partially the tracks "fault" then you do some runs on this track. sorry but even I know a good track vs a bad track. Everyone left early because nobody made good times. Even the PRO STOCK cars didnt get good times. Before you bitch about the track not being a problem you run on it and give us some good times. otherwise STFU.

it's updated.
