I'm down, if Harold gets his fuel sorted out. His car is running bad at the moment. I know where going on friday though.

Gabriel- I'll see you there. First time out with the new motor for me. Something isn't right with the car, s a little bit of track time with a few changes each run should help. Problem is, I'm on street tires. Don't expect much from me in terms of low times. Anyway, I'll be there at about 4:45 or 5:00 (depending on traffic). See you there.Jack

Not a bad night out there.Gabe, good to see you again, had a great time chatting.
Turns out my clutch is crap, but not bad...yet.
My last run I launched from idle with cold tires & managed my best run of the night....no slipping clutch, finally!
2.01 60ft, 8.9 1/8 @79.6, 13.88 1/4 @100.5.
Heather ended with a best of: 2.2 60ft, 8.8 1/8 @81, 13.7 @104.8, a new best for her! Congradulations!
Looks like I've got some catching up to do....

Black 93GT with Chrome Ponies up front & 10 holes in the rear...I was with 91PONY, a blue 91GT with Cobra Intake, etc. You raced her with a 12.88 @88mph...what happened there? I heard from some other folks about that 11.9...didn't see it though. That's damn good!

Yep,
Thats a nice car. I had an 89 silver Gt. In that pass, I had a better 60ft, but my car whent hard right, so I left off, kinda scared me, so at the end I broke. Tim for an intercooler.

Overall it was a good night. Of course the smell of burnt rice was strong, but it was still nice. First time out on the new motor. I was so ready to race last night that I didn't do my "tune up" that I do to my car. My timing was too low, my t.p.s. was off, and I felt It was time for a few small tune up parts. At any rate, final time was 14.297 @ 94.546,2.1 60ft, but my reaction was .474 (damn that red light), so my best of the night was only 14.367 @ 96.702, 2.129 60ft., with a reaction of .884 
. Anyway, overall, I will be at a much stronger pace next week. Oh well, I have no complaints. Who is going out next week??? See ya there.Jack

Hey Shaun-- Make shure that girl gets some gears in. I mean with that set up, 3.73's are a minimum if you ask me. She said it was her daily driver so 3.73's should be good, but 4.10 would be very benificial to her car's e.t. Anyway, go to Sacramento Mustang, ask for Steve. Get some 3.73's, go to River City differential. It cost $225 for install, and the gears will be about $200. Those gears will be a huge difference. That's just my two cents. GABRIEL- Is was nice to meet you. I hated to leave early but I had to be the girlfriend taxi, so I have to pick her up from work. What was you best time? See you soon.
Jack
