Very cool video man! Great quality...how did you mount the camera?
Looks like it was tough to get traction for you on some of those runs.

Traction was very limited lol.I had my cam mounted to a suction cup gopro mount which I have a sticky pad disc stuck to the overhead console.Make putting on the cam easy..center of the car and it adjust in great angles

For now run what I got,keep my eyes open for spare rims to get good rubber.Also thinking getting new gear for the 9bolt to have some fun also even though most ppl dont recommend spending any money on it.

thanks for the ride! sounds good.
i would skip "heating up" the all-seasons, it's not helping your 60' any. all seasons like to ball up the rubber and will make you spin more.

Meh..on such a cool day it wouldnt have mattered much if i heat the tires or not.Was just out to have fun and practice my launches but will try again on a better day and run the full 1/4 to see where the car stands.for now..keep saving up for more upgrades.Glad you guys like the vid and how it sounds...always wanting more power is addictive.
