went to the track today

**blaze00** · 05-01-2009, 08:17 PM

only got to run it one time cause of the rain.
firsrt time at the track with this car and the street tires didnt help much either
60' 2.24
mph 81
eta 9.24
i wish i could have run it a couple more times. i have put less than 100 miles on this car since i bought it and most of that was comming home from butler where i picked it up.

Grassroots racing for sure. I wish it was closer for me for those Friday TnT's, seems you can get a lot of passes in to really work on things.

every time i go i have run as much as i wanted. at most there was 8 or 9 cars on tnt night,
i knew it is up hill at the start. i gotta hold the ebrake not to roll back everytime i launch.

i got it from ccoyle on here. it is not a crate motor but it has a stoker kit cam and heads and some other stuff. i was expecting to be in the high 8's but i prolly could have got close to that with a few more passes under my belt.

You'll get it. That clutch takes a bit to get used to. I was gonna put on a line lock on it to help with that. I always had to side step it to keep it from rolling. When are you back off the boat?
