fischmama Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I think on that run I was up against a modified early Camaro or Nova. It was a test and tune, so there was a little bit of everything there that night. I had a couple of runs against a Nissan 200SX SR20DET that ran pretty good. Other than a LSD the kid hadn't done much to the car, but it was running 13.1-13.2 seconds all night. He smoked me off the line, since I couldn't get any traction, but I felt like I may have closed on him a little towards the end. May have just been wishful thinking though So you are saying it kinda looked like this, huh?!
B Mac Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Jeff take off your skirt and put slicks on the car and don't worry about the tranny . I cut a 1.82 one tire fire 60" and had no worries about it. Slicks are more gentle than radials anyhow.

550 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Hey don't worry, I still cut a 14.289 on that run even with the spinning. ;-)

I'll keep an eye on craigslist and see what I can find. This car will rarely go to the track, so I can't justify buying new I have 302 brakes, so I guess 15's are not an option??
