So this was my first time to the strip, overall I'm not too supprised, 14.732@94.52 at the highest altitude track the NHRA runs on. Converted to sea level I would have run a 13.8@99.8, so not too bad for the first time. I could use some drag radials, I have some wheel spin issues all the way through first. On the other hand, for my first run ever I had no way of winning, I went up against a '67 or '68 Super Comp Camaro with some 10.5" or so slicks and a wheelie bar...kinda of demoralizing, but hey, it's a Camaro! The other sad thing is there was a Honda Civic running 12.5's, that's just way sad, and it sounded horrible!!

 

Your in Denver?

 

gee thanks 95slvr for menetioning me and all that but yes but ya me and 95slvr met up at the track and went for some runs my best run was a 17.2 at 82 mph best reaction time of .050 that run was almost a full second faster than my last time up so bit more power and ill be doing okay

 

thanks for the outpooring of responce guys but yes jd since slvr hasent responded im in the denver area and i dont know exactly were he live but fairly close to denver anyhow

 

ya, I was a bit busy last night...anyway...

Nic, I realized once I was away that I should have mentioned you and your buddy, my bad, on the other hand, it wasn't your first day at the track now was it!

And yes JD, I live in the Denver metro area...so suburbs a bit south of Bandimere pretty much.

 

i have brand new nittos and at the tack i bake them threw 1st still i would get m.t drag radials i heard they were better just to let ya know.. ebay them and its like 336 for 2 not to bad...

 

no big bro i was jk

 

Awh, I know man, we're all cool. We gotta go again, but the next time it's on is the 18th of July...

Anyway, I have an extra set of the stock Salad shooters sittin' in my backyard, so I'm going to go down to Performance Wheel and Tire and check out their selection of used radials/slicks that'll fit the 8.5 inch wheel. Now lets just hope that I can get some good ones and not end up grenading my dif.

 

Congrats on your first runs, Now you can start toyin with the car and makin it faster...It sucks that you had to go up against that car for your first run..

 

haha, nah, it was pretty sweet actually, I just got to watch him smoke me, haha!

Oh, and I thought that I'd let everyone know that I got some used M.T. Street ET 10.5" slicks today, so we'll see how those work. Having an extra set of wheels around has played out well for me! oh, and ss4real, I got them for $90 a piece! So they're DOT approved for the street...barely, haha! I hope I can just toss them in the back of another vehicle along with a jack and change them there, 'cause if it starts raining with these puppies you may as well be driving a sled.
