Yep, it's only money and you can't take it with you so you might as well enjoy what you have. That's my story anyway... Looks good Kenny I hope it works for you like you wanted.

Good seeing you run that super bitchin car Kenny! I'm sure tomorrow will turn out better for you! Once we get the mad wheel hop under control on the sprint 6 chicken we might be running neck and neck!!!! Lol! I tried to get a pic of your launch but your car was too quick for my iPhone! All I got was a blur!

Ended up going 10.56 @ 129 mph yesterday. There is a bit of suspension tuning to do for sure. I need to move my bottom shock mount up for starters in the rear, but I need to trim my shock mounts so they miss the wend on the diff. I'd like to add a rear sway bar to the car as well. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears! Here are a couple videos. I am pretty sure the drivers side rear shock is topping out on launch. The shocks I put in only had 3-7/8" of travel. I was guessing where my anti squat line is, and thought it was going to squat, but the diff is coming out of the car. When I bolted the rear shocks on, I left about 2.5-3" of room to compress, so not much left on extension. Next outing I will trim the shock mount and run more extension room. On the upside, I made it to the final in the 10.00 class (was only 5 of us to start with) and got taken out by my friend Darryl in his 572 440-1 1970 road runner. Our cars run very close motor to motor. So, he put his nitrous tune up in and strayed it out of the hole a little to get me! haha. http://youtu.be/Rw97ylw9Slkhttp://youtu.be/peH6JTg3SU0http://youtu.be/M_RYaJQ5_KE-Kenny

Common misconception that leaf spring cars squat, rather than extend on the hit. Glad you're making some progress, and it's always good to see someone try something different!

I checked out the video, looks good! Your foot braking it I assume? I have not tried the foot brake yet. I competed in a local event called the 100 foot dash. Basically single runs timed over 100 feet. Here are some pictures... Spinning a bit on this one... Different angle of first launch... I need an anti roll bar lol -Kenny
