Give me any input you may have........

people trailored 16 second cars to the track?? WTF

Sonofa........!!!

I live in Surprise and forgot that you were going this Friday. I'd intended on popping in to say hi.

Anyway, nice steady improvement on your runs. Maybe I can get some pointers from you once my clutch gets replaced.

looks like you had some good competition. when I was there I kept getting lined up against Lightnings and notchback 'stangs that were vibrating MY car when they loped

Nice time. That is where I hope to get this year. 15.5

a turbo eclipse ran that slow?

why did you have so much air pressure? "lowered it to 35 psi".....everyday driveing shouldnt even have that much. should have started around 30 id think then lower from there if needed.

maybe thats just me...

Every day driving should have 35 psi or more with the right tires. ~32psi with street tires at the drag strip.

depending on the tire, and the car weight, you can run well in to the 40-42psi range.

I am running 40psi on the S03's I have.. as stated and researched to curb REALLY fast wear.

track I lower to 32 in the fronts, and 36ish in the rears(if at all).
