    Seat belts and a helmet if you got an open car. I think arm restrains also but the track supplied them last year.

    BTW on a serious note,i talked to a guy who ran his drag car there last weekend.He said the traction was great and consistant in both lanes.He made 4 passes and 3 of them were identical 1.35 60 foots .I hope it stays that way for this weekend ...

    WOO HOO, Good to hear the track is hooking up, that is what we seriously need for the Anglia. Cant do to much smack talking on the Anglia since I dont officially own it. I am personally hoping to get into the low 7's being 7.00-7.39. The best we have run is a 7.8 on not the best prepped surface and a 1.72 60 footer. all before the current setup. We will still be doing test and tune Saturday playing with the rear shocks and new panhard bar.

    the new setup we ditched the Motley Crew big tub rearend and put in a wider rearend running 9" slicks out back. We also took out the aluminum flywheel that was killing the launches and replaced with a steel one. The changes seem to work great this past weekend but the cold track surface was super slick

    The car is steady making improvements from day to day or should I say track time to track time.

    But in the end knowmatter what were there to have some fun and am so thankful for the guys and gals behind the scenes that help make these events what they are. You wont be hearing anymore smack talk from me. We just love to runem

    Rusty
