I just feel that it would be nice if they would have used a broom to sweep it away once in a while.

usually they have a blower that removes the debris and clears it to the side. at least at capitol they do that every few burnouts.

too bad you guys didnt have ideal conditions, the weather sucked here in pittsburgh as well,

I went to a local 1/8 mile event "legal street racing" where you just line up and run whoever no times.on an air strip.

but it was so hot the car was def running slower.... ended up lining up against 3 supercharged stangs, one n/a gt, and a ws6....

I crushed the ws6, lost to the supercharged 05 ( he jumped it), raced another supercharged Gt(older one) on street tires ( 470 rwhp) and tied once, beat him once, and lost by a fender once, and lost to a bolt on Gt w/ 4.10's and drag radials.. I was spinning the whole time...

I definetly learned that I need drag radials after this weekend

you need a 2800-3200 stall speed converter!!! When I raced your car I couldn't even load the drive train.

yea If I get into drag racing more next season then I will invest in a stall, also do you know if Mason was sprayed with VHT? Usually I can load my car a bit, but there I couldnt load it at all, the car was just sliding forward, just like what happened when you tried it.

for now the next round of mods wiil be sways and shocks for the twisties
