Well.....I did make it to the track eventually and on my opening time trails run sunday I cracked off a 7.61@91 in the 1/8 and an 11.84@116 in the 1/4 and this was with a fairly wussy launch. This was the best run of the weekend and I was having a ton of trouble with the 6 puck clutch slipping like it was in neutral. Even the good run I was feathering it through 1/2 of 4th gear which is nearly the entire 2nd half of the track.
So now we're thinking its probably capable of 120+ mph and mid 11's with nothing but a clutch that holds.
So this week I may try a different clutch, I got a set of four solid control arms cheap, change the driveshaft yokes to get rid of the huge weight and I intend to throw the 2 step back on. Hopefully that will shoot the front wheels up over a foot.
I also qualified number 1 in the 4-6 cylinder class and lost in the semis but I did win a cool $50 and got the car/stinger a ton of publicity. I'll post the timeslips when I get up tomorrow. Otherwise It was a blast and I got a great sunburn.
