No hope necessary..... your car proved strong on multiple dynos and proved strong on the streets. This means that with a few practice runs, the car will prove itself on the track as well. I have no doubt that you're car will pull great numbers at any track

You should come to Famoso with street tires and get a baseline with street tires...... that way when you switch to your drag setup, you can see how much you gained. Also, this will give you a chance to practice launch and shifts before the big day at Sacramento. Not to mention that Famoso is only 2 hours and 20 minutes from you. The way you drive, will probably take you only 1.5 hours

You and Sal would be a good match-up at Famoso

Famoso is very close to many major cities in California It's right in the center of California. It's only 1.5 hours North of LA.
