Having run about half-dozen drag events like this I can tell you it’s worth paying for a barrel of VHT and the prep equipment to lay it down.

Had a great time! Thanks to Starboy for putting all of it together. I hope next time we pick a day that is a little cooler!

The best i ran was a 8.1@89(which is faster then darkstar). I am hoping and thinking the tune needs adjusted really bad. Last year with 400hp I was doing 7.590@92.53 in the 1/8th.

Thanks to everyone who made the trip out!

No, I was in my Regal GS…it’s not hopped up in the back. You’re thinking of 2003 SSEi on here in the Bonerville SSEi. We raced three times (he lost three times 😃 ).
