Haha no kidding right? This place is not car friendly. There were some modded 5.0s at the track that same night I went and most of them couldnt get into the 13s!

You should easily have a 104-105 car Bokeo. My dad (z28th1s) has gone 106 in his, and he has our mods + d/s. When I went back to the 1/4 I 'only' got a best trap of 104.5, but we were fighting some harsh headwinds that day.

May have asked on another forum, but whats next for the car? Planning on any suspension mods?

I hope so but I wont know for sure till June when I drive her over to VA for my vacation. Next mod on this list is probably a driveshaft then GT500 Spoiler.

Got a baby on the way due sometime in November So I cant splurge as much as I'd like too =)

Nice run indeed, and great cam angle - I have a phone holder locked into an air vent that looks to be about the same place as your cam, you have given me an idea...

Nice little hike you have there haha about 19-20 hour drive! How long you going to be in VA? If you're in for a week or so you should try to head to MIR since you'd be in that area and get some solid times at a track right at sea level!

The video is killer man! good angle and a really tight run for sure! It would be awesome if you could invest in some dr's to calm that spinning down.
