Marty, you can fix your traction problem with a set of drag radials or slicks

BTW, I'm going tomorrow evening. Will try to get a few good passes. If anyone else is going, let me know.

oh yeah....beat a 95 M3 on my last two runs, which were both 14.075, and 14.078 respectively....he had a 15.XX the first one, gettin all sorts of squirrly on that one, then on the second run, he had a 14.3XX, much better launch that time for him! Cool guy, invited him to the track event on the 16 and 17 of may, one of my buddies rented out all of great lakes for that weekend, so it should be a lot of fun....im goin all day saturday the 17th

I saw someone say something about poweshifting, same thing as double clutching i assume, DO NOT DO IT. I had been doing it for a month, and had to drop about 2,000 bucks on an ACS clutch and Comptech Flywheel. My advice is stay away!

FYI:
Guys, I heard that Hales Corners cops will be out tonight on full force on hwy100, so you might want to skip it 90% of police force giving tickets for crusing....

i trapped at about 97, but then again when we were there, there was a 30 MPH headwind, so on a good day, we should be trapping at about 100 or 101!

I have hit 101.84 on a 14 flat run. I usually trap 100-101. However, with the intake, I expect that will go up slightly, as that seems to be the trend.
