I'm to sure on pricing just yet, depends on how many NJFBOA people show up. I'll obviously price it cheaper then whatever the regular track guy charges including deals on the shipping.

Have fun, the Buick vs Mustang thing has been rescheduled too many times so there will probably be a ****** turnout. I'm done for the year and will be working on my 67 in preparation for the '09 season.

I don't think it will be as crowded as it would have been if they ran it as scheduled but I still think there will be more cars than on reg t&t. but if it is I will enjoy watching then and give the car a bit of a rest since I have been running it hard lately.

I just put on the drag radials and put my chrome 5 spokes back on the front. I've done about 5 2500 rpm dumps with no burnouts and these Mickey T's are hooking . I'm thinking I might do the whole water and bucket thing in the garage because I wont have time tomorrow morning and I dont feel like doing it in the drive way now and freezing my ass off.

Alright, Camaro has been taken down to basic race weight. Rear seats, cargo cover, ttop bag are out along with about 40 bucks in change I found under the rear seats.
Oil was changed, tranny fluid topped off. I was gunna check the tire pressure before I head out, and then adjust accordingly at the track.

Well after everyone said they were washing their cars I decided to get my ass outside and wash the car. Here are results:



And here are the almost bald MT's I will be riding on. Here is a picture of the worst part of both tires:

.

My dad will be tailgating with me and he'll have an extra set of rear tires along with a jack and wrench just in case the tires decide to go. Let's just say my burn outs tomorrow won't be that big : (

i put my chassis mount adj. tq arm and V6 springs in today. what a difference in traction on the cold street with street tires! i launched soft around 2500-3000 rpm and usually it spins at the top half of first gear into second, but it didnt spin 1st, and just chirped into 2nd 3rd and 4th

Yea I plan on it. I tightened the drag radials with a torque wrench so I know they are on good, but not too tight that it's gonna be a bitch tomorrow. I plan on leaving around 9 and get there at 10 but most likely will be running late because my dad likes to take his sweet old time. Well now that everyone knows what my car looks like don't be afraid to stop in the pits and talk. Even though I am 17, I do know a lot about these lil LS1's.

Sounds good. See you all the. I'm hitting the shower now and then getting some sleep. Can't wait for the new PB's tomorrow. By the end of the day I may end up trying to do a high rpm launch just to see if the rear will hold it. I've got a 2:73 rear sitting in my garage so it won't be down for too long if I decide to attempt to get some good 60 ft's and blow the rear.

They usually start around 10 or so but I would watch the first couple of cars go down to see how well the track is prepped or if ya are one of the first ones to run take it easy to see if the track is hooking. Two weeks ago while running early in the morning the track was a skating rink before it came around but last week it hooked right away which was unusual but welcomed. I'm not sure if I am going tomorrow since some other plans came up but if I do make it I'll be sure to come up to you guys and say hi. Either way good luck to all!
