A great guess, mine would be the same, get your rpm's up and launch like you stole it dont try and ride the clutch out with those, it will cost you big time and they will eat your clutch if you granny it. Good luck and post your times!

Are you going to U.S. 41 in morocco this sunday, if so i will more than likely be there too. I saw you and stoenr there on 11/05/06. I saw on another forum you got some 99+ v6 16inch wheels with 28inch tall m/t et streets, good find. Hows the fitment on those. I would say if you can cut 1.80 60ft times you will pick up .2-.3 tenths at least in the 1/4 mile. You've cut such a good 60ft time on street tires that you've kinda decreased your room for improvement with the drag radials. Also you will have a little less gear now because of the 28in tall tire. My prediction is a 13.15-13.25 in the 1/4. good luck

Hey dude, whats up? i might go to us41 cuz byron has no schedule on sunday.. 99% i will go to us41.. you are kinda right, i might get a little better than 13.4. i am afraid to break something, cuz i wanna rev up to 6k rpm and dump the clutch.. with those tires, i shouldn't spin. if i wouldn;t worry of my rear end, i am pretty sure, i can cut 1.7 60' but i will take easy. 13.1 stock would be great time

let me know, i might rent a video camera so we can shoot some videos together.. i will bring a brother with me, he is into cars SO much

BTW, your ride is kickass man.. and you cut 1.95 60', i saw that.. that was awesome..

I just checked the weather forecast for morocco on sunday and they forecasting snow and temps in the mid to upper 30's for the high. Hopefully the weather forecast will change between now and sunday if not saturday weather is supposed to be a little better for racing with temps in the mid 40's with some sun. US41 is scheduled to be open for test n tune on both days, but i thinking the weather want permit racing on sunday. lets keep our fingers crossed.
