Re: drags

ah...St Thomas Dragway...nothing's better than watching the racing from the little over pass over the burnout box. cool little track. i went there a few times two years ago for some OSCA races.

decent times, i'd have hoped for a little better with the l98 though honestly. get some headers on that bad boy, i'll bet that's holding it back some. also, what's base timing and fuel pressure set at?
