Default I am ready for NSCA Super Car Challenge heads up!!!

Next week is the NSCA American Super Car Challenge heads up race at Cecil County in Maryland.

Had to slow the car some from 11.20s to 11.50s for the 11.50 class. Put a few things back in the car and and some more gas along with stock wheels and drag radials (Thanks Mojo) and did some runs.

The car weighed in about 160 lbs heavier.

Ran 11.47, 11.48, 11.46 and then I bumped it in a little and ran 11.53.
Next week, depending on the weather either a shorter bump or more gas and cross my fingers.

Hope to see some of you there.

Smart move optomizing for the Genuine Street class; you'll be tough to beat. If Cartek gets my NOS problems sorted out I hope to be running at the low end of the Serious Street class. See you there.

stock wheels/tires about about half of that, the seat is about 40 and the gas was about 40 with about 15 in miscellaneous stuff. I am pretty sure the scale was up to snuff with the Ultra Quick 8 Class running. 8 cars in the sevens from 7.50 to 7.80

If I wasn't so busy trying to get my house ready to sell I'd take a ride down.
I'd like to see that race.
