You suck....LOL.....I couldn't get any better, the more I tried to time it the worse I got.......My father in law races all the time, he has a 66 Nova and runs in the nines and I have never raced on a strip before so I know that will take some getting used to....Maybe I will try the tree some more..........If I'm lucky I won't be up all night trying to get the 500 .......

its easier at the track because #1 you have a tenth of a second essentially (if you stage regularly) to roll out of the beams all the way, and #2 your reaction time to let out the clutch and hammer the gas is slower than tapping a button....

I am going to have to figure what rpm to pull at, I have a auto and it would barely spin if I floored it from a stand still.....since I put the 3:73's in that is a diff. story now.....Could be me but it seems though even when it's spinning it is still pulling hard. I don't plan on constantly racing it but I have to know what this puppy will run......

That's a 9 hour drive! Was you directing that to me?


BTW, no one can EVER make an Opal look bad.
