    I finally made it to a T&T tonight.
    It was really crowded. With the sparatic weather we have had, they have only race twice this year, so with the nice day today, they all came out :D
    Mine main goal was to shake the car down and test the new disc brakes :bowdown: wowzer......talk about braking power :bowdown: I have a feeling I can foot brake it to 4 grand :rofl:
    I only made 2 passes and all is good! :clap:

    Glad you got T&T. Yea, let's see some slips, or tell us. How many runs did you get? Always a good time, long as nothing breaks.

    no secrets on the times :) I made 2 passes, the first was a 7.35@93 and the second was a 7.09@96. These were very soft tune-up's and exhaust. I was not trying to do any career best or anything.
    Thats why I only made 2 passes, I got there at 6:30 and was loaded back on the trailer by 8. I do not like T&T :16suspect would much rather race :thumbs2:
    I think I am going to try and tune the car to around a 6.95-7.0 area and be done....figure that will be easier on parts (y)

    Mike.....they are really nice, if I would have realized the difference, I would have done it years ago. :yahoo:
