    it was my first time at the track with my car sence the conversion to stick shift. it was alot more fun than it was with the auto. finally got my 60fts under 2.0. im a little scared of the stock clutch and stock t5. i know they will hold up on the motor but will be questionable with the nitrous. im waiting on a gforce gear set to get here then ill put a real clutch in and have some real fun.

    about a 1/8th mile shorter!!!!

    a large time was had by all!!!!

    my best was a 8.3 at 83mph. i think mo's was a 8.7 at 87mph. hes only on bfg street radials, so traction was an issue. ive got to watch out. he is catching up to me.
