The fun part; after my brake issues and what not, I wasn't super confident about them so I made my first pass at around 5:ish with around 1700 ft elevation and in the 70`s and did a smallish burnout and left at 2000 on the footbrake and it felt pretty nice yankin em and went 1.373 60 and 3.978 at the 330 then dumped the brakes hard to see how it felt and although not perfect they were ok. So hung out till about 6:ish then decided I wanted to go home so got in line did an ok burnout but bogged a bit cos these "slicks" really stick then left at 2500 and went a crazy 1.330 60 and a 3.93 330 but dumped it before the 1/8th mile and went 6.157 at 109.63. Last time out in the heat I went 6.20@ 111.78 w/a 1.42 60 so this may have been my 6.10 or better run............. Something funny, first pass a .017 r/t, second pass a .019 on a simple 3-amber but not bad I thought...........

So I think you might need somebody to go thru your carb and see if it picks up a bit!! Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

He was running slicks.. but so do I with my 8 3/4.. but he is heavier...but he did run a 1.33 60'.. not bad and its still in one piece .... Dom might find the breaking point at some time
