Default Picture of a 1.415 60'

A picture from our last weekend race from Infineon on Sunday. The upper end of the track was wet from Saturday's rain so we could only run 1/8 mile. Good traction though.

I saw your car out there. It looked really sharp. Black right? It's hard to launch a manual at the track. My car originally had a 4+3 and I converted it to a 4l60e. Keep practicing. Willie

WOW! I wish mine could do that.

What do you usually run in the 1/4? 1/8?

Also, what wheels are you running? The backs fill out the space under the car very well. Those fronts look skinnier than most.

The rears are 15x10 Weld Prostars. Tires are MT 28x11. Front tires are 4.5x15. Can't remember the wheel width; I think they are 4.5".

Do you still run the IRS or is it a solid axle car?
