Sounds like alot of very impressive cars were running. Sucks about 60-1s car breaking, looks like 1st gear didnt like the drop on slicks. You're breaking your car like its a dsm, so it must be fast.

Not true! I'm pulling the same 1/8th mile times as i did with my old set up. Reason being i cant put more power down early because of lack of slick. If i had a bigger slick i could leave at 8 grand on full boost putting the power down. when i do get the car set up properly you will see the times drop but the mph wont go any higher.

Went to slicks. Made one low boost pass to make sure the slicks were not going to hit the fenders/bumper. Turned the boost to about 20 and broke. Oh well.
I wished i had brought my street tires out so we could have run on street tires together. I'm dissapointed you would not show me your set up. Whats the secret?

Can't wait to see you spray it! Next track day sounds good, huh?
I want to run the Chevelle the next one. Sitting out just isn't as much fun.
Yeah we went by there and it looked dead, so we just kept going. We'll see about the nitrous. The first time wasn't so good with it, but that was also a direct port.

Drace I'll let you know about that, thanks for the offer

Nope... I call that putting on a bunch of new body panels that were already painted, then stripping off the rest of the primer, and spray painting the front end... It will have a real paint job by Christmas though....
