I hear ya', I'm not even sure I'm gonna run it this coming spring, every year for one reason or another it's been apart and now that it's back together, I want it to stay/enjoy that for a while which most likely means no racing and just drive it.......the racer in me says run it, the pocket book says drive it for now..lol

Nice results! SA is an awesome track! Went there once last summer with a local group after our monthly get together. A guy that runs there is on LoneStarStangs has a red coupe that is the high low 12's/11's on stock heads/cam and no bottle...just some weight reduction, tire, basic suspension, a few bolt ons and one hell of a driver.

Thanks. Its been a long and high dollar road. S.A. is a nice track and the closest to me about 2 1/2 hours away. Went there around the 1st of oct. to make a few runs. It ran good but was bogging like hell off the line. Started trying to figure it out when i got home and turns out the balancer had spun a bit. I always reset the timing before i run. When i got the new one the timing was at 3 deg. instead of 15. I never expected that. it made almost 4 tenths diff. Something worth checking.
