Yep, the pucker factor goes off the chart as you don't dare hit the brakes as you skate around the track. You did awesome and it seems like you found your limit with the car in the conditions that were dealt to you. Tenth fast overall ain't no joke....congratulations!!!!:driving::tiphat:
Still not happy with it. What I am thinking right now, "Is this something I want to chase?"

:iagree: It is a series of trade offs as you know. Drag is the devil he is dealing with. If he can get the car lower and mitigate some of the big high pressure airflow zones, add aero that will create downforce to increase his mechanical grip front and rear he will pickup a least 10 more miles per hour in the conditions he was running in.

Haha, welcome to track car hell!!! You got to decide if you want to chase a number or just enjoy going fast and knowing that you have one of the fastest Zs in the Nation...period. You have made your point that your car is faster than all but the fast Zs. Enough said!!! And you can go even faster if you want to play that game. We are all here to help you shake that money tree no matter what you decide. LMAO!!!

True, just a simple alignment change would net some traction and top speed. How much? I do not know.

Roll cage,alignment & play with some aero.
Seeing that you can’t do stationary burnouts prior...line-loc wouldn’t help at these events.
Maybe if your pit crew would have showed up to assist in some adhesive on the mini burnouts :wtf2:

Or run at a different event that doesn't have the runway on a beach?

Do they really not have a burnout box?

Congrats on setting a new standard for the street trim cars. You've got yourself a rocket there, sir.

JARblue 10-22-2019 09:12 AM
Congrats Spooler :driving:

If you're driving it as a street car, why chase?
If you want to attend more top speed events, then it sounds like you have work to do.

Alrighty, let me qualify this upfront by saying all you old bastards my age better not say crap. And you young bastards just be lucky I did'nt edit this biotch with crayons and magic marker. Here's what you've been waiting for.

Derrick, I salute you sir. You put in work. Sorry this is the best I could do for you.

Come to think of it, why should I share any of this at all. I enjoy my car everyday as it is. I am having a blast. Al and I had one hell of a fun day. We could get out there and run the hell out of our cars without the worry of being thrown in the pokey. I was 10th fastest out of 48 cars. I wouldn't call that needing a ton more work.
