I was there by myself just to make a couple passes.
Wish I had somebody there taking video so I could see why my car doesn't hook.

A beat up 74 Plymouth Satellite. I only entered the test and tune to do some shakedown runs. I'm hoping a set of tires will fix it come spring.

Wish I checked here before going so I could have set up a meet and greet for members!

I had a few problems with new slicks and finding a good launch rpm.
By end of day went to 14 psi and 4500 rpm shocks on 1.
Best 60 ft. 1.62 need to start going to track more than once every 2 years. Also going to try a 1000 hp carb next.

I would have but I really wasn't sure where you were. I was parked close to the entrance for the staging lanes.

I was there, it would have been nice to avoid all of the delays the Chevys and imports were causing

Wow I made only 2 runs and they snapped a shot. They probably should have taken a picture of yours instead!
