    Rented track , by some others, I just jumped in. Put on the new 8" slicks, set the new cal tracs and off we went.
    Best of 11.82 @ 117 mph. Did cut one .507 lite. Got to take the 5 yr old grandson down a couple of times, he was excited...even at 58 mph.

    Next time a little less air pressure and maybe try dialing back the boost control down to 1. See what that extra 35 hp will do. Fun day, very relaxed and layed back.

    ahhh...

    well... since i live in virginia and i can actually get around 6 to 7 runs a night, i guess i see no point in doing that.. maybe out in LA or Atlanta where you get like 2 runs if you're patient.
