this is the best one I have, my wife races as well so it is hard for us to take pictures

Great shot!

I have a couple, with a video:

http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s...hires-jim2.flv

The link may work properly this time:
<embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i154.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid154.photobucket.com/albums/s256/jimandpat/hires-jim2.flv"></embed>

Can't get the link to work directly imbedded for some reason so a link appears above the video picture

Jim who's GT are you racing in the video - you kept up pretty good![8D]

That is against 07CaliSpecial (Tom) It was his first time at the track and I think he made 25 passes that day. When we ran against each other my car seemed to be "running out of gear" toward the end - it seems that when I drop below 1/4 tank of gas my tune runs lean and I lose power - if I keep it over 1/4 tank I get my best times and top speeds.

Not the best quality photo (it's a picture of a picture),
but it does show how much weight transfer I get

My first run with drag radials. I figured out I can launch a lot harder than this but don't have video of it.

That was a pretty nice stick vista, I like it. What was the reaction time on that?

Not sure, it was a foul run but it was a test and tune day so I wasn't too worried about it. It was the first day with drag radials so I just wanted to test them.
Here is a link to a more recent run.
