Default Slick time!!!!

I am scoring a set of e.t. drags(I'd borrowed them previously) to further improve how this car runs! Those two passes I made recently really fired me up. With any luck they'll get here in time for either a test at the Long Island track before it closes or E town for the challenge. They're 26X10X16 M/T E.T. Drag. Here I come 11's again :D

Just thought I'd share that.

Not quite... run enough to get kicked off, then hit another track if I like and do the same there.

If I we're to do a bar..it'd have to be a five point where I could store the top in the back if I wanted.

The slicks arrive the first week of June! I am psyched! :D

Just an FYI and I will be posting more on this later but they(the track)came down on me hard saturday for guy running fast without bars. The converts are the big problem because they can run faster that 14.00 pure stock.
This is going to become a problem. The track has treated us fair but they are hearing it from the state.

As they say"Huston we have a problem"
