You can get an idea of his times by looking closely at the pics...check out his non existant helmet.

I dont remember the rules exactly, I wear a helmet no matter what, anyways its not faster than 13.99

I ran a best of 13.52@100.52 that day. This was before the headers and chip.

they let your run with no helmet running 13.5's?? WOW! not an official track? out in the boonies?? If you came to any track around here as soon as you broke 13's, its either get a helmet or go home...I bet they would let you take a passenger to video record the run from in the car too!!

He doesnt have the prostars on the back also because... The ones he has on the rear are a lot nicer and much more expencive! He just threw the skinnies on for the track. He put his normal wheels and tires on(that match the rears) after he got done at the track.

Around here you need to wear a helmet if you are running some of the 8 second street machines or even if you are running a 17 second bowl of ****!! No matter what your times are you must have a helmet!

The last time I went to the track, the conditions sucked and the everything was not tuned well. It ran 13.97@98.

I figured out that 10 degrees of intial timing is too much for the SLP stage II chip. i need to set it back to the stock 6 degrees.

I will be running the car down at Beech Bend Raceway next saturday in Bowling Green,KY. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!
