Silly guy, race season hasn't really ever stopped

If you ever think you can go to SGMP you let me know, I will get that day off work (often work Saturdays) and make that drive again. Line the V and the E up.

Steve, I cant wait to see this thing move out once BIP is done with that build. We will have to get together for sure to raise some hell

Haha Andrew, anytime anywhere

I am hoping so Tim, weather permitting I should be testing it out at Silver Dollar next weekend.

I've got a brand new set of Hoosier Quick Time Pros mounted. Hitting the track tomorrow morning for my first ever 1/4 mile run. It's a shame about the elevation here though. Track sits above 3,400 ft.

I've been throwing around an idea. I'm going to do several launches my normal way (TC off), then try it in Dyno Mode to see if there's a difference.

BTW, CLK wheel with Hoosier tire weighs 29.5 lbs!! Stock wheel/tire was 54lbs. That's gotta be worth 12 tenths right there.

Pics of the scale. I weighed the race setup 3 times because I couldn't believe it:

Stock rear wheel with Michelin PSS:




16" CLK wheel with Hoosier Quick Time Pro:




That's almost 25lbs of unsprung and rotating mass gone... PER SIDE!!!
