Re: Finally made it to the track.
Exactly my thoughts, the car defiantly has more in it, now just needs a driver mod. LOL It's the joys of having a 6 speed at the track. Oh and it was about 95 degrees and very humid that night, so with better temps and slicks the car should easily hit 7.5's.

I am hoping for better but don't want to be to optimistic lol I am hoping for low 7's but we will see. I am headed back to the track next weekend and hoping the weather is cooperating.

My budies car that traps 96 does 7.3x, so you have a lot left in getting the 60 down that will make some better slips, not to mention, you can hit it with a 200 all day
