Very nice times and the car seems to be pretty consistent...........or is just the driver

 

I would like to say its all me, but as you know, a good car makes a better driver, where as a good driver doesn't make a car better, The car hooks hard, goes straight, and repeats, the fiberglass rear leaf springs, and the 2.92 low gear was money well spent in the off season.

 

Very, Very nice!

 

That is awesome pic of your car, glad things are going good for you.

 

I have kind of lost interest. I loaded mine up once last year and then it rained. By the time I put on the slicks, uncap the headers, adjust the shocks, and load it on the trailer, I have already had second thoughts. Then our track bends you over for just a test and tune, much less trying to bracket race against delay box cars in Pro ET. My car runs right at the edge without a roll cage (11.55), so there is no tuning or tweaking to get excited about since I can't run any quicker. I guess I did it every weekend for so many years, it's just not a thrill or a priority any more.

I think it was easier then with a dedicated race car that I didn't have to make street ready when I got home.

 

where do you race? Pro et in NHRA is no electronics footbrake racing, sorry to hear you lost interest, I lived at the track from the mid 80s to the mid 90s until I got married and bought a house, then had kids, now they are 9 and 12 and go with me when we don't have baseball, softball, boy scouts, girl scouts, and bmx racing.

I won 8.0 index in my z28 a couple weeks ago. I have had the maverick at the track twice and the best it would do was an 8.44 in the 1/8 so I haven't been back with it. It needs a set of aluminum heads bad lol
