nicely done. But, I still have to say, your not putting enough torque down until the car freaks and thinks it got hit and unlocks the doors!

Scares you the first time, but now its pretty cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will probably go but just to watch. I won't run the truck into cracker barrel buys me some tie rod sleeves.
Rey, the numbers are pretty close to west plam. When I ran at the 1/8 I pulled a 8.2 & at wp I ended up with a 7.9 with the C55. Are you in for this weekend?

yup. On one of the cars (E series I believe) when you do so it actually unlocks the doors and drops the windows!

How funny would that be on the track!!!

Oye Rolly I don't doubt the times are the same, a timer is a timer and
would love to try out the track but you know I work on weekends, and
on top of that now I see they are only working on Fri/Sat/Sun.

I'd go there if they were open on Wed/Thursday like they used to be.

I'll go. I have a new mod. My mechanic didn't correctly reattach my plastic bottom engine cover so I left it somewhere on the Turnpike last night.
