I think my gear, limited slip, aluminum driveshaft and drags will narrow the gap closer than you think. I've also done a mild suspension change that will help me hook up. I'm very confident, I havent lost to you yet either
I was up and running til last night, I broke yet another transmission. I will hopefully have my spare rebuilt and in by this weekend. I should also have poly susspension bushings in and maybe solid tranny mounts by the event. Oh yeah and some other stuff allowing alot more power. It all depends on how much motivation I have.

The car will be a rough ride but I am sick of breaking shit.

My car could be quick if I was able to launch it and acutally go WOT before 3rd gear.

Geo Killer might be able to bust out a 16 second pass since it'll be back to bone stock very soon. Bring it!

i ran a 17.2 once when my car was stock and i was learning to launch....AT OSW!!! that place is a joke for traction...

but yeah ive ran some 16s in my heyday. i think i could muster up a 15.9 if i had good tires but im gonna have to settle for mid 16s if i ran haha.

i should have brakes completed by track day....ill out brake you haha. this is track day 7 right? i figure by track day 10 or 11 i should hopefully be close to jumping from 16s to 13s.

Uh oh...went to the track tonight and made good progress with the suspension

Only did 60' runs to the top of first. The last run hit so hard it snapped my neck back and my foot came off the gas pedal and hand came off the shifter after about 20 feet. Pulled the wheels pretty good. car went left...and still managed a low 1.4 sixty foot.

1.3x sixty foots with 140+ traps here I come
