Default Rookie at the Track

For those I promised videos of my 1st time at the 1/4 track, here you go...
You will need windows media player to view.

1st night (stock suspension, stock exhaust other than axlebacks)

2nd night, 2 weeks later ( Headers, full exhaust, BMR lower control arms)

Well I'm still learning ofcoarse, but to drop my 60ft times I did order BMR's upper control arms,
an Auburn Pro posi-gear and soon a Centerforce clutch....

I hope to be in the 11's this month but with 110 degree days and being at 2500ft
it's not the ideal conditions to be racing.

Approx 4200rpm. It's been a learning curve to find the sweet spot between 4000-4500rpm.
I will either hop or bog, a good example are the last 2 videos...
