I wanna run, but I know I'll never make it out of the city during rush hour. If they only had it on Fridays or Saturdays...

Gotta go across the bridge... the traffic getting to the bridge is horrible. Unless I leave work at 3, I don't think I'll make it.

ahem... call in sick. hahhahah. tahs wut all the ppl do there. you wont' make it if u leave by 2. u should b there before 4 so you can get in the strip.. and 5 is about when u run.. but it varies. my first run was at 4pm.. we got there around 1. so burn all your gas, and get tehre hecka early, pop the hood and let everything cool

LOL! Sounds like a plan, but I don't think I'll be able to keep my eyes open doing the runs.

OK, last post on this thread for me (unless it relates to time slips).

Nice job! I notice that your reaction times and 60 ft times got better and better. After 24 runs at the track over the past 10 months, I'm going to retire from drag racing. Or I might do the total strip down and race one more time.

I've been able to get 2.3 60 foots by launching at 2000 RPM. I get some wheelspin, but this seems to do the job. Have you raced it by letting the tranny shift by itself? I think it's .3 slower that way. (Non VB upgrade)
