    lebanon valley wednesday nite

    that's hard to say for me, any nice night i could get the itch. In Saratoga some guys hang at the shrunkin dounuts/McKeyD's on 50. In colonie all the hardcore types hang at the McKeyD's at Kohls plaza, with lots of cops watching Central. It is a bit more low key in Saratoga, and about the same...

    Went to track for first time!!!

    I know it is a method some guys use to get out of the hole, especially with street tires that will spin real easy but it will shorten the life of your clutch bad. Drag clutches have higher heat disk material and it is even bad for them, even though they will last longer. Learn what rpm you need...

    Went to track for first time!!!

    you don't have to ditch the IRS to have quick E/T's. It just takes practice, experimenting with air pressures, more practice. AirLift bags ($30@) is a cheap way to limit IRS squat which will make you ride on the inner edge of the tire only, at launch, limiting traction. If you are draging your...

    04 Saleen vs. 04 Cobra

    don't have time to look it up and I'm probably wrong but when shopping for my 04 cobra the factory specs from both the manufactors were along the lines I stated -.4 sec for the Saleen. The Saleen has a solid rear and a lower gear, so the 375 vs 390 is a wash. I drove 2 281SC's and the cobra I...

We always setup in the same area, the first row of pits on the pavement that the return road dumps onto. right across from the new trailer bathrooms and the big tree a lot guys fight for in the heat. can't miss the red 04snake, under a blue...
