Good runs son!! Car sounds and looks good going up the track. You do very well with your driving, especially getting the car out of the hole on those 235/50/18 Pirelli street tires!!

You definitely 'chopped the tree down' on the maroon S197!!

BTW, that little Neon was moving on out!!

+1 on those 60s. I never could do better than a 2.0 in my 4.10 geared S197 on Pirellis. I'll look at my slips, but I don't think that car ever ran faster than 8.5 or 8.6 either, which as mentioned puts you down to a 13.1 or so...

edit...old slip says 2.0 60', 8.5 at 85 and 13.1 at 107. Thats putting you right there with my old 4.10, UDP, Intake/tuned (308/317) 3V! Says a lot for the 3.7 and your driving!

Thanks guys!

Just found out a local car 'club' is having an even at this same track May 12, so I'll probably have to wait till then to run again. I've promised myself to not go until I get these lca's, so hopefully I can make it happen by then. That wheelhop is a sumbitch, now I see what everyone else been talking about!
