Yeah me 2..I'll be working on that suspension before the track opens...adjustable uppers,,,good lower,,drag springs..maybe an air bag right rear..or a weld in(RACE) anti-roll bar..and a set of stickys....3 way shocks? for the rear... anything in the 60 gained ,will almost always translate into better total E.T....

oh yea.... The reaction time and the first 60 feet are usuallythe determining factors of a close race.... Unlesss of course the opposing car is just increadbly different in power compared to yours.

I have a few suspention mods. Lower control arms, strange adjustable shocks. On street tires leaving at idle my 60 ft is 1.9s, with drag radials leaving at 2500 my 60 ft is 1.7s.
