how much does a helmet run? and where are you ordering it from? ill have to invest in some saftey stuff before i put the motor in anyway, so ill just get it all at once.

Summit Racing has a legal Bieffe helmut for $99.95. I'm ordering tomorrow by snail mail. They have all sorts of helmuts in their catalog.

I thought you rode a motorcycle. Can't you use that helmet?

After not even making a qualifying pass I was fortunate enough to make it six rounds but red lighted, so I ended up with the runner up trophy in the Mustang lane. I don't think I've seen that many Mustangs there before in lane 7.

well it was my first time ever to the drags and I ran

14.033 at 100.998mph

my traction sucked off the line. I need some different back tires, the saleen rims with 35 side profile are no good for launching!

I got in 3 runs before I left. The last one isn't worth talking about, but the other two were alright,
1st Run
14.169 @ 99.857
2.18 60 ft.

2nd Run
13.916 @ 96.780
2.164 60 ft.

I need to work on that 60ft time, the stock goodyears aren't the best of tires I must say, I'll get some Nitto DR's soon enough.

Fellas-I have a 98 cobra pretty much bone stock when I ran it, and it went 104mph. What happened to your guys' power???

Posted by zinc00gt (Member # 468) on :
 
If you consider your car almost stock, then i consider my car almost stock being that i have a few less mods than you. So on a stock 00gt on street tires should I be trapping 104?? I doubt it. What were your times on your car?
