Congrats on the runs ! I too have been trying after a certain et with my small block car . Hang in there and the car looks like it is consistant!

Thanks. I just want my 1.37 60 back and make it a 9.7..something. got rained out this weekend. Maybe next. I have a 10.00 index race on the 30th so I have to get right for that. Unless I can get it down to a 5.90 but doubt it.

Track prep and maybe some seat time will help ! Seat time always helped me tune the car and get it faster along with good pit crew! Good luck

Good looking run from what I see !

That was 20 year old 90/10 shocks. The front end stayed up the whole way with the top of the front tires tucked in. Was a fun ride....left,right,left,right,.....all gone now.
