I've got the car stupid consistent now...check out these slips from 1st to second round.A monkey could win in this thing! 8012094-rps20140125_214429_414.jpg (84 downloads) 1967 Coronet R/T 9.83 134mph. 470 cid st.6 heads 10x pro et track champion

As you already said the first four increments where dead on Are you going the Las Vegas for the Spring Fling and MATS race? If so I'll try hard to not line up with you until the last round Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

If so I'll try hard to not line up with you until the last round Cab the driver had a decent day on the tree as well.Kept em in the low teen to low twenty range mostly which is what I shoot for generally.The weather stayed very steady all day.I'm sure other people saw similar consistency but thought It was cool to see those slips back to back.And yes I 'll be at the fling only.You comin down too huh?That race was fun last year and should only get better. 1967 Coronet R/T 9.83 134mph. 470 cid st.6 heads 10x pro et track champion

Here is my two runs from first and second rounds in Oct and I thought my car ran pretty consisdent but not as good as yours. But mine is a street car I drove the 45 miles to the track that day. My car is #201 and my lites are no where near as good as yours as you can see thats why I lost in the second round as my brothers .012 killed my lazy .078. But that was the first time I raced in almost 2 years. You and your car did a great job. Ron Last edited by 383man; 01/26/14 01:30 PM.

No way a glide could be better than a TF in a heavy car like that I think with the glide you will notice the consistency is much better. Just what those guys in pro need is you being more consistent Time to put that box back in it and come run S/Pro again. The money is better.

You know Al I thought it was pretty consistent before but man your right, it's way better now.Kinda boring to drive but I'll take the trade off. I don't know about super yet.Money's not that much better at least locally anyway, and I feel I have a better advantage in pro being the faster car most of the time. 8012471-rps20140126_090155_570.jpg (33 downloads) 1967 Coronet R/T 9.83 134mph. 470 cid st.6 heads 10x pro et track champion
