I'll give you shifting lessons. At least a .4 reduction down the 1/4 with the same 60ft as before. LOL...

AJ-for some practicing over and over doesnt mean they are getting better or doing it right.

I've been drag racing for a long long time(no old man jokes either) and never went to a racing school. Just years of experience. I have been told that the school I mentioned was good but its not cheap. I'll be finishing up my Mustang hopefully by the summer and racing in a Drag Radial/Stock Suspension class with my goal to be running in the 7 sec range. Fastest I've ever gone is high 8's so this should be a true test for me.
