Damn! I'm on here all the time and I can't believe I missed this event!

Jeremy, whats your opinion of the track down here? I was thinking of running at OSW some day but if its significantly worse than Bradenton I guess I wont bother.

Nice run.

Based on your 60 ft., I'd say there's at least a few tenths left in there just with a better launch.

The addition of a T400 prohibits us, and you, from competing in any of the Sportsman classes.
Keep checking around you guys....Sometimes you can compete in some classes but changing around the trans would penalize you and cause you to add weight to offset that modification. I am just trying to give you a heads up on what I have seen so you dont get to discouraged. Good luck.

It's against Jeremy's religion to add weight to a car

If he wants to compete in a class he may not have a choice.

You know jeremy, after a good tune, and with the new weight balancer maching thing you said your getting, you 3800lb Z would probably still be really impressive. Add a little weight to the rear, keep the rest in the center and balance the car as best as possible. A 800whp+ Z would still be pretty fast even if it did weigh 3800lbs or so. The gearing in your new tranny and the smoothness would obviously help that out. Nothing saying you couldnt atleast try it.

How much fabrication is that going to require? Looks like its off an older vette or something beastly!

You shouldnt be rackin on Albertos hoes without him being in on it either. I think Wendy's is a legitimate replacement for them though!
