I'll be there....I am hoping to get my Monster Box and Torque converter put in this week. If they don't get finished with it I'll come out and race my F150 Lariat. I shouldn't have any traction problems with it...LOL.

got ur #,

Wayne has a vid of your run...I do believe. We watched them yesterday.

He is trying to find a way of hosting them, they are real large files...LOL.

By the way....you should check out the thread on getting your name on your profile so we know who you are.

I may end up going for a last shot at the 12s before the exhaust and pulley. I'll let you know for sure later this week.

on the drag radial . let the presure down to 18 lbs and heat them up real good . at ennis on drs there is no sure fire garranties .

i ran them at 17 psi and i heated them for about 7-8 sec. i didn't go through the waterbox though. for some reason everytime i go through it i get real sidetracked and nervous, so i just avoid it all together now. just lack of experience i guess. thanks for the help. are you going to be out there friday and if you are will you be on drag radials? i'd like to see someone else use them, kinda like a watch and learn type deal.

no i won't be there friday i'm going out there suday running in the tmcc races . i don't run the drag radials any more . i got too much traction at another track and broke the side belts . there is one more thing you can try , the night before the race take a rag with brake fluid on it and rub the tires down this will give you a softer compound , but eventually will lead to premature failier or shorter life expectancy . also try heating them up a little less the drs seemed to be sensitive of to much heat . they get greasy when heated to much. i usually got them spining let off the brake and put the pedal to the floor for a count of three .

Who all is going? I may have my L back by then, not sure.

I may go anyway, I want to take the 350Z out there again, since it's past the break in now.

How are the lines? Is it any better than at the end of the season last year? 4 runs in 3hrs? I would like to get a few runs in.
