I guess he thought he was going to drift.... No actually we were both taking the south ramp, 1 lane, but i got out of his way so he didnt have to slow down.

opps! I though I had read in a recent thread that you hadn't done the fronts yet. Have you done any runs in 4x4? Any noticble difference in times, I would think the hole shot would be pretty awesome, just not sure about running it at 100mph, although your front diff is turning anyway. A good thing about racing in 4x4 is it's easier on the back tires

I use 4x4 to take off in the rain. A lot. I plays hell with the ball joints and the idler arm. I have to replace the idler arm alt least once a year. Ball joints every two and about the same for the tie rod ends. 33 inch tall tires.

HI!... Hey BUILT54, you can always come up here and try some racing. You'll probably get your a$$ handed to you 80% the time though. lol!. Average hot rods around here are running 10's and 11's.

For every fast car there are 10 wannabes. So for every race you loose you stand to win 10.

HI!... Actually out of the hundreds of S/R's I've had, I think I've lost mabey 1% of them.

Well if things get close all I have to do is get the "83" Ranger out. It's well below the average.

you lost 1% of the time, yet you think he would get beat 80% of the time, How is that?

to me that looks like 99% of the cars up there are slower than a 13.5.
