Well my auto will barely spin at all, but I am stock and only have 800 miles, might still be breaking in though I am surprised I don't get more wheel spin. Sometimes it's nice and others it's disappointing.

Did anyone notice he said he had gears put in yesterday, and he is already trying to stomp on the gas? I would wait until you get those gears broken in before you worry about trying to spin your tires
Gear break in does not take long at all as long as the installed knows what they are doing!

07BlackGT what were you running in the 1/8th?? Man I did'nt know Baileytown was still open?? I see the helmet rules still are not enforced there!
My best time was 9.095.
I don't know if that's good or not... I had never done it before but it was funnnnnn.
I'm sure I would have had a much better time with the 93 race tune, it felt like I lost alot of time spinning at the start.

Yeah it's still open and I was really suprized they didn't enforce helmets, I brought mine and had it in the backseat but noone else had one on.
It was at a thing the arab and guntersville police put on, a charity event for cancer.

Not to get off topic, but who installed your gears? What was the cost?
Thanks

Do you live in that area? I keep a boat in Guntersville.
