Be sure to post your results ASAP, I'm very interested in what the Mach1 and 347 runs. Looks like the air should be pretty good tonight as well

Don't forget that Rhetts car now has 100lbs worth of roll bar in it

Update: Rhetts car is still fast.

11.5 @ 117

Seems to have lost about 1 MPH average from the added weight

I guess my last run was a bit of a handfull according to onlookers, but the launch was a thrill. Still need practice with this tremec.

ok, I'm come down to 3 reasons why my car went slow
1) the track sucked
2) the stock Goodyears suck
3) I suck at driving

it's one of those 3 reasons, I'm leaning hard on the last 2. 12 passes made last night, 11 by me, 1 by Drew.

Hey thats a nice car man. I thought the track was hooking good myself. Especially my last run when i had 12lbs of air in the slicks Your car is brand new so what the heck..How about a set of those drag radials? ive never run them but i see tons of people using them. See you again.

Those times are not that bad. I heard of Mach 1's with pulleys, cold air, gear's and some tires going 12.7's

Yeah Matt, something is up. First of all, the Drew Mod was worth nothing. That should raise a flag right there. Is your car 100% stock down to the air silencer?

damn. I'm totally on the fence about buying a Mach 1. You've made me lean toward 'no'
