Best ET...By Accident
I had planned all week long to take my S15 Jimmy to T&T on Sunday. Saturday while me and my trusty helper (15yo son) were getting the Jimmy ready he cross-threaded one of the rear lugnuts (the can't run to the store and get another one WELD lugnuts) and probably the stud as well. Anyway, I took the Vette instead and it ran a best of 7.933 in the eighth. The previous best was a 7.991. This is with the same basic combination I've had in the car for about 8 yrs now. It has gone from a 9 flat to this over the years with basically fine tuning. And NO, I didn't pound my son even though this is the second time he has done that!
I'm just wondering why you're not running the vette more often

Thanks Fronts are 165/80/15 Kumho radials, rears are 255/60/15 MT ET Street drag radials all on Convo Pros. I've done just as well with the 275/50/15 BFG drag radials I had previously though.

Well, it's actually a combination of things. I spent alot of the last 2 years building my S15 Jimmy then I had emergency gall bladder surgery in July '06 and then total rgt hip replacement in Nov '06. So I've been a little beat up lately. I plan on racing both my hot rods more this year...then get my other hip replaced in '08!!
