    Another good track day.

    Not a new best but it was knocking on the door hard and it's not even fall yet Installed my Strange stuts at track today before making a pass and it was well worth missing the first round pass today. Car launches so much better then it did with Lakewood 90/10 fox body spec'd struts. The Strange's are SN95 length and the extra inch of travel was noticed on my first attempt as it carried nose of car high well past sixty foot with them on the softest setting. Before it came up but settled way to soon. Other thing that has seemed to help big time this year is the addition of the K&N FIPK cold air kit(Summit version but same thing) as car seems to be breathing better.

    I was thinking the car would run a 12.57 to 58 this year but now with a few other things to do I'm thinking it will run 12.50 maybe slightly quicker on the stock engine. Should run 12.teens with a cam change and 11.90-12.0 with head work and intake change. Cams are a possibility this year but intake and heads won't be.

    today's runs

    12.724@104.77, 8.081@84.17 with a 1.69

    12.779@106.83, 8.154@84.18 with a 1.71 spun off line, fuel on track from previous car. I figure car should have run a 12.70 had it not spun.

    12.730@108.68, 8.115@84.28 with a 1.68
