At PRP 10.90's on the worst day and 10.70's on the best. Since I race every week I see how much the weather changes your ET. Last year I ran a best of 11.13 lifting right before the finish line would have been around 11.09-11.10. The worst it ran on a hot humid day was high 11.30's(11.37)

are u the car that parked like right across from us had laurelmountain sticker on his bumper i think

**93FOX** · 03-03-2010, 12:40 PM

still moving, u ever drive it on street or u only use it to race
i dont get into racing that much to see exactly how weather changing but i know it does

**Balaska347** · 03-03-2010, 01:01 PM

It is definitely a street car. Some people might not agree... I have driven my last car to Norwalk Oh ran low 11's and drove it back home. Its built to be street friendly thats why I run the AOD and stick with the injection. Nothing was stripped from the interior or under the dash, everything still works. Power everything... It is registered, inspected and insured.

I use to do the street sceen in the late 90's and in the early 2000's when it was bigger. The ricers pretty much ruined it and it died out. When I ran on the streets I had a Buick T-type which I still have. I built this car to cruise to the shows and hang out and to be able to runs 10's bracket racing. Bracket racing is my competetive side plus its nice to go to the track and leave with a $1000 and I get to play with my car. If the street sceen would get big again I would throw some spray on it.

car looks with all that interior and stuff to be a street car to me
mine is stripped and gutted but i got insurence,registration and inspection and my car see's hell alot of street time any one around here knows that
if i was bracket racing i wouldnt use nitrous but i like go out try to beat my best times even tho my car was very very consistent,not knocking bracket racing id like to try it, some times at the line i get little tired and take naps ha

**AdamantiumSilvr** · 03-03-2010, 03:08 PM

Definately's lookin and soundin really good. I'll be catchin ya around at the strip for sure.

**Balaska347** · 03-03-2010, 03:25 PM

I always say if it has plates, inspection, and insurance and you drive it on the street then its a street car. Whether you gut it or leave everything in is just personal choice.

Bracket racing can be really fun if your competetive because there are alot of good drivers. Most of my friends and I started out like everyone else, going to TNT and trying to beat your personal best which is cool but unless your always buying new parts the best time to go is the begining of the year and the end because of the air. So all summer your not going to beat your best ET. With bracket racing we still try to beat our personal best every week but we know weather wise which days we actually have a shot. Bracket racing isnt just reaction time but it is a large part. I like the fact that you really have to get to know your car. You can adjust the suspension on your car which will effect your ET and your reaction time. Its just like being on the street, its just you and your car vs the other car and driver. The rush you get beating the other guy for points and money is what bracket racers love. And when your there every week and you get to know who is really good and you get all pumped up because you know you have to be on your game to be him is also a great rush. Whats funny is alot of the old big time street racers are now bracket racers because it is similar. If street racing got big again I would also be out doing that too but I just dont get the same rush racing someone I know doesnt stand a chance or that I dont stand a chance against. Nothing against the street because I love it too and wish it was still big but for now bracket racing is just as fun in my book. Let me know when your gonna be at the track so we can hook up and BS.

**93FOX** · 03-03-2010, 03:30 PM

def let u know
are u doing that event that cruise then race thing
true street i guess it called haha

**Balaska347** · 03-03-2010, 03:36 PM

Yeah as long as I dont split the block in half by then. Depending on what the true street pays I might do the cruise and the King of Street (bracket race)

**93FOX** · 03-03-2010, 03:38 PM

dam hope dont split
im prob doing that cruise then some sort of racin ha ha

**Balaska347** · 03-03-2010, 03:40 PM

If the payout is high enough Ill definitely do the true street.

**biminiLX** · 03-03-2010, 03:47 PM

**biminiLX** · 03-03-2010, 06:22 PM

Hoping to pick it up with the AOD in it in a few weeks, then off to tuner for 20+psi ;)
On a side note, I've heard those Saleen wings actually hurt our cars in the 1/4.
