    I made it to the final in 8.0 index last weekend and broke out in the final. First round I did go .400 off a .400 protree. after that all the lights were .6 something lol

    Those passes were a 6.74 and a 6.75 @ 100.xx mph. The combo has been 6.50 @ 106 but I had to tone down the launch because my 60 fts were moving around too much...and I was breaking stuff lol.

    we took curb hoppers comet out to local street racing scene and managed to beet a pt cruiser (scratch one for the comet) we lost to a honda hatch back in what MIGHT of been 1/8 mile. it seemed like just when I was gaining on him he pulled over.

    it was fun we reached around 120 in prolly 1/2 mile (slow I know but hey its all stock) with a horrible start. next time we have got to remember an air pressure gauge to let some air out of the tires to hopefully get them to stop spinning through first gear.

    the first launch of the night was a good one the car hooked and took off after that I couldnt get it hooked. we might go out again this weekend well see what kind of money we have for gas lol

    Went racing on the weekend.. Of course all the sudden it runs like crap ad stuff stops working.. Best 60' was a 1.54
    Then the rest I spun like crazy and were over 2 seconds.. Basically that was the info I came out of it with since the second day of racing got rained out, thought I had fixed all my issues as well..(was in the water box when they waved me off)
