well for now. Got the Lakewoods on all the way around 2 weeks ago. Put the rear dbl adjustable uppers on today. Set the pinion angle and removed the front sway bar. Now all I have to do is make it to the track and hope for the best.

The 50/50's in the rear are a lil more stiff than I would like but that's life. All in all, the ride quality is pretty good.

How much better do you think your times will be with the new set up?

Hopefully at least a couple tenths. I would def like to see my 60' times decrease for sure.

What are your 60' times? Just do whatever iceman does for the 60' time. I am amazed he can get tractionwith a5200 rpm launch, be he is right on it when he leaves the line. I can't say much, I don't even have a track close to me, I have no idea how well, or how horrible I would do. I just have to practice in empty neighborhoods on how to launch.. I guess that is one good thing about all the construction around here.

Pro, that sounds pretty impressive to me, I see alot of guys going 2.0 and up. Are you shooting for 1.5's or better. How much have you new shorter tires helped (26s correct).

Tim, LOL, I'll take what I can get. I'm also gonna try some new driving tacktics so we'll see what that gets me.

Zach, is Mason gonna be open Sunday? They were redoing the track. Not sure if it's finished yet. No kids this weekend so Sunday could def work. Temps are supposed to be a lil cooler too so that's a plus also.
