Well I did a new personal best of 11.58 at 122.71.. Also a new best 1/8 on the same run of 7.45 at 95.71 with a 1.71 60', Plus a new best trap of 123.74 on a different run.

I was having a little problem shifting because the clutch fork/arm kept coming off the pivot ball. Making it hard to disengage the clutch. I borrowed a jack and put it back on twice. Thanks to some nice guys at the track. Anyway I'm happy with it.

Thanks Guys

I think 10's maybe, but I'm a drag radial racer. It's 90 miles to the track and I hate changing wheels. I'm also still running a stock suspension with 142 k on it. The track is 1250' in elevation and it was hot and humid. I haven't had it in good air since the cams. So I'm hoping for a little more this fall.

Thanks

3.73's I'm more happy with the trap considering the bad air. I also can't shift worth a damn.

That's getting really fast... Do you still Daily drive the car? What are your goals? i.e. 10's in street trim, 9's on spray?

Your car has been consistently upgraded since I have been here. I would love to know what your are shooting for!

Very cool. I think a 10 second daily driver would be crazy. I will wait for updates on that 10 second slip.

By the way, what are you going to do about the shift forks? Is the tranny Fubar'd or what?

Its not the shift forks. The clutch arm keeps popping of the pivot ball. Both are wore out I think. It makes it hard to push down and it releases funny.
