1st Season T & T's

Well this was my first season trying to get back into racing in about
30 years. Got my car out of the shop in May 04. 1st time out ran a
disappointing 14.883 @ 95mph. It was all me. After months of
adjustments (mostly to my technique) and questions I ended the year with a 13.212 @ 104.19MPH. Modifications along the way were New msd distributor,6al box , blaster coil, and finally after fighting it for 6 months screwed the tires to the rims.
Part of the problem was my misconception of the weight of this car with my a$$ in it. At conception I believed the weight of the car with me in it was going to be 3100lbs. Turned out to be 3500lbs. I wanted the best of both worlds and argued I only wanted 3:91 gears since it was 90% street car. I should of listened but didn't since I don't do that much distance travel with it anymore.
All in all I did manage to drop et 1.671 seconds and gain 9.19MPH. You have all heard my problems along the way and I thank you for your help here at NEBR also at FABO, and Mop/Tech. Over the winter I am going to install a Hurst pist Quart stick, Cope rev valve body and 4:30 gears, may also go for a bit more stall.
I am def looking forward to next season and hope to be way down in the 12's . Of course then I will be crying about how to get into the 11's. The bug has bit me and bit me hard.
