Finally made it to the track.

Like the title say finally made it to the track with the new set-up being 9" and all new suspension in the rear oh and the giggle juice.

Went 7.75 in the 1/8 @ 96 mph with a 1.8 60 ft.

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.

Re: Finally made it to the track.

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
