YA'LL HAVE GOOD ADVISE !!! i'll throw in what little i know .
if ya gotta squeeze to go 12.00 or have street gears cutting a light will be a challenge . your going to have to get it to run 11.85 and add weight to the nose ,pump the rear tires up and drink red bull!
every thing about this class is getting the best light so you can cross just in front of your opponent but not break out .
it is a all dial 12.oh bracket race . my car can go .005 when shallow on a pro tree with a 1.80 60 ft time it should not be possible.ask around it took me 4 races to whittle it down with every trick i could dig up . hitting the tree shallow gives you that all important extra time to settle in . trying to go deep is hard cause the tree is coming fast and no count down . that would be the 1st things too work on . dont fall victim to thinking to much till ya get the car dialed in . a soft leaving high mph car will really look like ya killed him on the tree only to find him pulling around ya before the stripe -adam

ya I appreciate all of teh advise now im just waiting on a set of rear tires so I can get to the track before the 30th so I can figure out which pulley I need to run.

i learned that the hard way against you! in a qualifing a couple times, i run the blue 83 monte ss, it 60fts 1.55-1.60. you were nowhere to be seen till the last 100-200ft and i ran out both times!

But i do make you guys think a bit, when your up against me. lol

Yeah Unk you make me think.... shyt, I might be able to hit the first turn off after I shave 20 mph off on the top end closing Unky up....

sweet jesus - all the hitters posted the tricks

hey jeff - this is jay's drinkin buddy at the cruise nights - how about something for the effort

I guess holding a couple tenths is mandatory -

[adamsvega]

setting it up to run 11.98 each pass isn't a bad idea till ya get tree'd then you look good take a little off and break out w/ 11.998

[botmbulb]

Adam, you need to hold at least .05 or so.

[adamsvega]

bud ya know me i cant hold that much and be right .my eyesite is bad and the brain is slow .
if i dont know the race in my mind when i hit 1 sec from the stripe i'm lost .

That's why you are the poster boy for red bull. lol

[adamsvega]

thats da truth "3 red bulls ,flat to the floor and 20psi in the rear tires" and adjust required .
did ya'll know that 2.25 pipes and flow masters 2 chambers is considered a too loud system ???
the niehbors actually called on me tuning it up in the drive way sat. afternoon ....... fargin tools.
i guess i need to put the x-pipe and 3.5" stuff on for em . the cop was just dumb founded that they complained about "this pos" he thought i was running the vega and came over to ck it out . i love being a lifetime fop member and a active part of crime watch!
