    Well I took the Sprint to the track this weekend. Since the race car is broken I used it for the Team race.
    The car did great. I got to the 2nd round on satuday and got to the semi's on Sunday.
    The best time she ran was 16.49 @ 80MPH. Not to bad. I dont think i am getting full throttle. It's hard to floor it. I will have to check it out.
    Lots of people checked the car out and took pictures.
    All in all a fun weekend.:thumbs2:

    What does your regular bracket racer run?

    Just for comparison.

    I remember running my stock mav 302 with just sidepipes and 4bbl and it was a blast, first time down the track. Just got more and more fun over time as I kept fiddling with it.

    The car has a C4 with a shift kit and I would guess 3.00 gears but could be 2.73. I'm going to put in a posi so I will put in 3.00 gears then.:burnout:

    I have a 67 mustang for my bracket car and it runs 12.30s @ 109
    So it was a sunday drive this weekend..LOL Big differance was figuring out the tree.
    :)

    Thanks Don. I plan on running Firebird and Speedworld both this year.
    I want to get back to the finals again this year and hope to run ROC again.:dance:

    Best time there was a 12.330 @111. I run .3 slower there because of the altititude. Our first race is Feb 13th, then the 27th.
