    Wanted to post this and see who else can make it. It's a saturday and it's a 1/4 mi track. Bryant can you make it? Jeff said he'll come . . . after he fixes his "nitrous".

    Bryant and I are going, if anyone else is up for it meet us there. We didn't get the T5 into his car in time so he's gonna leave it at his shop. He is gonna ride with me.

    I have a weak 2nd gear in the t5 and stock tires. I did high 15 on the old motor so hopefully 14 on this one

    I have sadly admit, street radial. I didn't have the funds for slicks and I think if I hooked up too well I would have destroyed something.

    High 12's .... man, that would be amazing.

    It was like driving on ice in first gear. I think I did too big of a burn out and got the BFG radials greasy. Then I some hit second on that t5 that grinds unless you shift slower than grandma on a Sunday after church let's out, and it blew the tires off again. Had a great time and many thanks to Mo for letting have a shot at driving his car. I can't wait to get a t5 into my car.
