First pass - your shocks are too tight and you blow the tires off

Second pass - your shocks are too loose and you blow the tires off

Third pass - never happens, 'cuz some bonehead in an over-built 2002 WRX grenades his engine at the 330 mark and the track crew can't get the oil up in time before curfew

wink

His current 112 MPH isn't close enough to get into the 5.99 ET Its a indicator of potential, he would want around 115/116 mph for a sub 6 sec. But Hes going to be close.
