Re: POSTPONED: NYM Track Rental Day at LVD - NEW DAY: October 20th
I've been watching the updates on the TVS .... Clutch, 4# Lower (maybe 6# track)....after that well see what happens! On the fence with the 4.10's - I was only going trough the traps over 5k rpms .... Those ET Streets grow to about 26.8", so I'm losing gear!
Looks like you had a good time Jason.....What happen on your early pass - stopped against the wall?? ....I had just down my burn-out, then they sent me back!

I was lucky enough to run a 12.0 @ 113.4 with a 1.7 60 ft. DA corrected was 11.82. I guess I should be happy, but I should have made some changes, like shifting my car at 7000 rather than 6200

This event was one hell of a time!
I blew my upper radiator hose in 3rd gear doing 75-80ish and man did it get me too spin...a 360 down the quarter mile JUST missing the wall is NUTS!!!!
The officials that were in the middle of the track were trying to tell the workers that were at the end with me that I did hit the wall, they didnt believe that I didnt till they came and looked for there selfs....
But with the help of Tim (ADK GT) I got it home...I cant even explain with words how thankful I am about that Tim it really is not often to meet such nice people in this world I ow you one BIG time!!!!! Also a big thanks to Bret for the hookup on the tools I needed to change my hose... I really cant even explane how greatfull I am for these guys to of been there!!!!!!
Cant wait till next year!

Oh yeah, My 2 step stopped working at the beams so I reached down and made sure it was on and accidentally turned on the line lock. I must have tagged the brake pedal during the 1-2 shift which locked the fronts,unloaded the rear and caused it to pitch to the wall. I stopped in time with no damage. After that all was good. I just should have made some changes and I'd be well into the 11's

My friend Paul saw Senkak's black vert in action back when he 1st got the TVS on and said it went awesome. Once you are trapping higher you should be fine, 3.73 actually would be the best probably with the 26" tires. One your trap is up where it probably will most likely be I think the 4.10 might be too much for it, all depends how high you want to twist it up though. I'm thinking you would be around 6300-6500 with the 4.10

Yes Chris....stock 3.55's! (Almost as bad as 2.73's in a Fox body)... I launched at 2700, 3500 & 4000 k with about the same results! Air was not good that day (DA 2400) and I really don't think the track was there either! I also need to play with the TP's on the ET Streets....
Thinking about Sunday!
