Default FINALLY, a little testing in my Fox!


Some of you know that I have an '89 Fox which I'm building for NMRA True Street competition. Well, after 3.5 LONG years apart, I was finally able to make a couple of test passes at NMRA Bradenton last week. I didn't launch the car hard because it is a totally new combo so I need to make sure everything works before I try to make a hero pass. However, the car did run 155mph through the traps. I was pretty pleased with that. Now I'm going to make a few small tweaks and see just how far into the 8s we can push this hooptie.

Nice! That car is a beast even taking it easy. +1 on that slip, really curious what it looks like.

Thanks guys. It was nice to get the car out and have some fun. The slip looks awful because I barely touched the throttle in first gear. 8-second car running 9-second ETs...

Anyway, I got a wild hair today and decided to put the car back into street trim:

What does your suspension set-up entail? I know its loaded up, just curious what all you got and how its set-up. I gotta start focusing more on mine.
