at the track today...

[abodyjoe]

went to the track rental today and man did we have a good time... the dart ran great too..


finally put some sticky tires on it.. the new exhaust really works too...



the best run of the day for me was 12.27 @ 108 mph. i lauched it at about 3000 and it was pulling the left front tire about 3" off the ground all day.... the best runs with the exhaust caps on was 12.31 @ 107 mph but i was launching it at 2500.. i think it pretty much runs the same with or without the exhaust capped....

i will post the time slips and some video later on when i get time...


guess i'll have to update my timeslip...lol

15 minutes away! I`m so envious. Our local track closed here many years ago, now the closest track is in Richmond, Va. about 90 miles from here, and I`m not into trailering. Congratulations on your new low e.t. , you`ve got a quick Dart there! I bet that car raises a few eyebrows around town.

 

[abodyjoe]

WHAT ARE YOUR 60 FT.TIMES

high 1.6 to low 1.7

yea its nice beeing so close.. hope it is around for a long time... not sure how much attention it really gets.. the color combo gets more attention then anything.. with the new exhaust it is pretty quiet and it looks pretty stock so people don't pay much attention to it.. wich is fine by me,..lol.
