    Don't worry Rick, i'll get it on video.....i've been trying to get into the 5's for the past two years but I kept breaking stuff (suspension parts) and never could get the tires to hook up. Well i've switched to Mickey Thompsons and I feel like there 26x10 hooks up ALOT better then a Hoosier 26x10!! The car was launching like crazy this weekend, I was leaving the line at 3500rpms and it was pulling both tires up about a foot and a half off the ground, nice and evenly.....not just one side!! I think i'm really starting to get the bugs worked out of this suspension!!!:smash: :clap:

    Oh yea, not to mention the new shocks and springs in the rear.....or the hours upon hours I spent on the front end and alignment!!!!!

    You should be very proud........I know you will when you pull a 5!:eek:

    I am really looking forward to seeing that car at the round-up.

    Also, you should have ask me 2 years ago.......I would have told you the mickey's are much better tire than them hoosiers!:D
