(No wind, and approx 75� F), next time I might shoot for high 14's...It is hard to hook up when they don't allow you to drive around the 'slush-filled' water box!! (mix of traction compound and water--darn rear drive cars!!) although the limited slip differential helped a little...it was my saving grace... I was the only FWD car there...at least I wasn't the slowest one!! Next time it will be a road track, where the car should really shine Anyway, anyone want to go with me and a big group of 'import' people on October 13th, the next import drag days?... if so, lemme know at john.herrick@state.mn.us it is $35 to run, and easy and fun!
