what that should have conveyed is this:

I THOUGHT he hasn't run his car! this should be interesting, seeing as how he doesn't have much practice with the new setup.

IIRC-you run stock FD and a 26" slick.

I am running a 3.3FD that allows for 131mph on the street with a tire 26.8" tall (not revving as high as I could). Im running a new size of ET Streets-->27", coupled with the 3.3FD and raised redline, calc says 134mph....

That’s good news. Few if any of us have had a chance to race against the 2007.

edited to add some fun to the thread

Would that be the same car that exploded right after??
I think maybe you and I SHOULD go on PINKS, after all, it is a best out of 5 race, and after the first pass, any car you bring will have its main bearings scattered all over the track....

There will be a ton of pics. I am also looking at setting up a cam that will record the entire 4 hour event from behind the staging lanes.

We will see how it goes.

I always have vids inside the car when I run, and I'll have friends there for outside views...maybe I'll set-up my helmet camera on my rear wiper so we can all see Julian
