Yesterday was a good day. I finally broke into the 4's. 4.95, 4.94, 4.95, 60 foot times were 1.15, 1.12, 1.15. I still got my butt kicked but I'm having a blast. I'll add in some more power on the next outing and keep creeping up on it, hammering on it wasn't working. It's my first race car, starting out on a Blown Alcohol Hemi on Drag Radials and leaf springs isn't the easiest place to start

I admire your work ethic. A tough road to hoe which most of us, (including me) would fear to tread.

The launch looks a ton better! Did you end up tightening the front? Great job getting over that hump Jeff!
