What a funny looking little car...  ....glide in mine...it's boring... 
they are tiny, wanna trade trannies so you can have some fun?
I'd keep it as the 904... a bit more excitement off
the line and a better 60'..... but thats just me...
the glide is sorta boring.. but IF you have a spinning
problem..... thats another story.. JMO
no spin, but excitement is not good bracket racing.
Tony my car with a 727 is deadly consistent... I
havent ever lost due to the trans... driver error...
YES.. most of the times I lost I went red... a few
times was on the top end(but not many)... and its
a bracket car
going red is one of the problems.

huge difference between what will get down the track and win a bracket race. this thing is pretty violent off the line. it lifts the wheels out of the beams which is good for super class racing not so good for bracket racing. the track will not be consistent as the night goes on around here so it will make things difficult to repeat I think.this thing has to be pointed perfect every time just something else to worry about trying to race. I'll get it sorted out with time.the less events you have to deal with bracket racing the better off you are imo.
Awesome, enjoy that car Tony. BTW, I love leaving on the bars, if I wanted a boring ride I'd build a V6 stocker.

well I could care less if it's boring or not.you don't need the wheels 4ft in the air to go fast or consistent.it's just a matter of making it work and win races imo. I don't care about putting on a show I want win lights.

So what class you gonna race.. box or no/box... in
box it doesnt matter as long as you dont spin...
you can do things to the car to change the launch
that cost way less than a trans, conv and drive shaft
plan on no-box for now.

is the arrow a 4-link or ladder bar car ? the wheel stand launches could bit you in the rear in the late rounds. nice ride.

imho if you want to look cool be one of the last two cars in the lanes
